CHAUNCEY  WETMORE  WELLS 
1872-1933 


This  book  belonged  to  Chauncey  Wetmore  Wells.  He  Uught  in 
Yale  College,  of  which  he  was  a  graduate,  from  1897  to  190 1,  and 
from  1 90 1  to  1933  at  this  University. 

Chauncey  Wells  was,  essentially,  a  scholar.  The  range  of  his  read- 
ing was  wide,  the  breadth  of  his  literary  sympathy  as  uncommon 
as  the  breadth  of  his  human  sympathy.  He  was  less  concerned 
with  the  collection  of  facts  than  with  meditation  upon  their  sig- 
nificance. His  distinctive  power  lay  in  his  ability  to  give  to  his 
students  a  subde  perception  of  the  inner  implications  of  form, 
of  nianners,  of  taste,  of  the  really  disciplined  and  discriminating 
mmd.  And  diis  perception  appeared  not  only  in  his  thinking  and 
teachmg  but  also  in  all  his  relations  with  books  and  with  men.

PREFACE. 


This  work  began  in  a  few  inquiries  which  were  made  about  ten  years 
since  to  correct  an  erroneous  record  in  another  family  history.  From  that 
point  the  search  has  been  led  on  step  by  step  with  ever  fresh  suggestions 
to  its  present  scope. 

The  quest  has  been  one  of  continual  surprises.  It  was  supposed  that 
the  family  was  small,  to  be  found  in  only  a  few  localities,  counting  among 
its  numbers  not  many  persons  of  distinction,  and  having  a  story  to  tell  of 
quiet  faithfulness  rather  than  of  wide-reaching  power.  But  following  back 
to  the  origin,  there  have  been  discovered  the  sources  of  countless  streams, 
some  of  which  are  seen  to  be  flowing  in  broad  and  noble  rivers. 

It  is  something,  in  an  ordinary  home,  to  know  that  one's  parents, 
brothers  and  sisters  are  high-minded,  strong  and  true.  In  such  a  thought 
there  is  incentive  to  a  worthier  life.  And  is  it  not  something  to  know  of 
the  more  attenuated  family  bonds  which  reach  to  many  generations — to  be 
conscious  of  our  kinship  with  those  who  have  borne  their  part  as  builders 
of  society  and  of  the  nation — to  recognize  as  of  our  own  household  multi- 
tudes who  are  to-day  engaged  in  forceful  activities  on  a  thousand  fields 
over  the  world  ? 

A  grouping  of  facts  is  fruitful  in  questions,  and  the  facts  here  gathered 
may  set  us  to  thinking  in  many  lines.  How  shall  we  account  for  what  we 
find — how  account  for  people,  why  they  are  those  we  see  and  not  others 
unlike  them  ?  The  force  of  heredity  is  evident :  its  watermark  is  on  every 
page.  But  a  thoughtful  reader  will  see  other  things  also  working  with 
heredity — the  habits  of  the  home,  tradition,  principles  of  conduct  and 
training,  that  play  ever  around  the  life  to  give  it  a  particular  phase,  a  dis- 
tinct individuality. 

There  are  lessons,  too,  of  the  larger  environment  in  the  community 
and  state.  Some  of  these  are  almost  startling.  Rough  houses  in  new  set- 
tlements are  fullest  of  children,  while  family  life  in  older  abodes  often 
dwindles  and  verges  toward  extinction.  Out  of  the  rough  homes,  also, 
come  many  a  strong  personality,  while  those  who  have  had  unusual  advan- 
tages do  not  always  show  corresponding  achievements.    There  is  much  yet

to  be  learned  concerning  modes  of  life  and  the  things  which  determine 
character.  Among  our  serious  problems  are  those  of  the  home  and  family. 
May  not  a  glance  at  these  many  households,  living  under  a  variety  of  con- 
ditions, throw  a  little  light,  at  least,  on  some  of  these  problems? 

The  accounts  here  given  of  different  families  vary  in  fullness.  This  is 
not  of  choice  but  of  necessity.  In  many  cases  ample  records  were  easily 
obtainable — while  in  others  the  most  painstaking  effort  has  proved  unavail- 
ing. 

To  the  large  number  who  have  promptly  responded  to  inquiries  and 
g^ven  their  personal  interest  to  the  work,  grateful  acknowledgments  are 
hereby  rendered.  Especial  thanks  are  due  to  some  who  are  not  of  Dicker- 
man  lineage :  among  these  are  Rev.  W.  L.  Chaffin  of  North  Easton,  Mass, 
and  Hon.  Newton  Talbot  of  Boston,  whose  aid  has  been  invaluable  in  pre- 
paring the  Stoughton  branch. 

The  researches  in  libraries  and  archives,  with  most  of  the  strictly  liter- 
ary and  editorial  labor,  have  been  performed  by  my  brother.  Rev.  G.  S, 
Dickerman,  whose  ready  assistance  has  greatly  lightened  the  long  task 
which  is  now  brought  to  its  completion.

EXPLANATIONS. 


At  the  head  of  each  section,  into  which  the  chapters  are  divided,  stand  the 
names  of  parents  whose  children  follow,  usually  with  grandchildren  for  two  or 
more  generations,  arranged  in  different  type  and  with  a  different  style  of  num- 
ber for  each  generation. 

The  father's  surname  is  usually  omitted  after  the  leading  paragraph,  but 
other  surnames  are  given.     The  omissions  are  to  be  supplied  from  the  heading. 

The  index  figure  indicates  the  generation  of  the  person,  counting  from  the 
first  settler  Thomas'  Dickerman.  This  figure  follows  the  Christian  name — thus 
making  more  clear  where  the  surname  is  to  be  supplied. 

Names  of  children  in  one  section  which  stand  as  parental  names  at  the 
head  of  another  section  are  in  small  capitals,  and  are  followed  at  the  end  of  the 
line  by  the  section  number  in  parenthesis.  The  sections  are  not  always  in 
numerical  order,  and  it  may  be  convenient  sometimes  to  consult  the  index,  in 
looking  for  them.

CHAPTER   I. 


COLONIAL   BEGINNINGS. 

"  A  little  one  shall  become  a  thousand,  and  a  small  one  a  strong  nation," 

Isaiah,  Ix.  22. 

The  planting  of  New  England  took  place  within  a  period 
of  twenty  years.  It  began  with  the  settlement  at  Plymouth 
in  1620,  and  ended  in  1640,  when  the  meeting  of  the  Long 
Parliament  stopped  the  tyrannies  of  Strafford  and  gave  to 
Englishmen  hopes  of  a  better  government  without  crossing 
seas  to  find  it.  For  eight  years  Plymouth  colony  was  alone, 
meeting  hardships,  testing  new  conditions,  and  developing  a 
community  on  the  ideas  and  convictions  that  brought  the 
Pilgrims  hither.  At  the  end  of  this  time  they  numbered 
only  three  hundred,  but  they  had  solved  the  problem  and  the 
way  was  open  for  other  colonies. 

In  1628  Endicott  came  with  three  hundred  to  Salem.  By  1630 
the  several  places  about  Boston  were  occupied,  Charlestown, 
Dorchester,  Watertown,  Roxbury,  Medford  and  Weymouth.  In 
1634-5  settlers  pressed  into  the  interior,  to  the  Connecticut  valley, 
and  established  themselves  at  Windsor,  Wethersfield  and  Hart- 
ford. A  year  later,  Roger  Williams,  with  an  independence  too 
radical  even  for  the  Puritans,  was  sent  out  of  Massachusetts  and 
began  the  colony  at  Providence  ;  and  in  1637  pioneers  wintered 
in  New  Haven.  Within  ten  or  eleven  years  two  hundred  ships 
crossed  the  Atlantic  and  twenty  thousand  Englishmen  forsook 
their  old  homes  to  make  new  ones  in  the  wilderness. 

They  were  a  choice  stock.  No  other  would  have  dared  what 
they  did.  Most  of  them  had  been  accustomed  to  material  com- 
fort ;  not  a  few  to  luxury.  Among  them  were  owners  of  large 
estates,  shrewd  merchants,  able  lawyers,  learned  and  eloquent 
ministers,  attractive  teachers,  scholars  of  high  rank  at  Oxford 
and  Cambridge ;  while  the  rest  were  mostly  thrifty  farmers, 
with  here  and  there  a  skilled  artisan. 

Pioneers  are  usually  men  of  force.  These  were  ;  but  with  other 
rarer  qualities  added.     They  had  beliefs,  and  these  so  woven  into

their  texture  as  to  command  them.  They  came  with  a  moral  pur- 
pose and  with  no  thought  of  going  back — not  as  bands  of  adven- 
turous men  eager  for  exploits,  or  fame,  or  gold — but  bringing 
their  wives  too,  their  boys  and  girls,  helpless  babes,  and  house- 
hold treasures,  to  plant  themselves  permanently  in  the  unknown 
land. 

This  made  the  New  England  settlements  wholly  unlike  those 
of  Canada,  the  West  Indies  or  South  America.  Those  started 
with  men.  These  started  with  families.  Those  yielded  not  a 
little  to  the  barbarism  they  found.  These  kept  their  civiliza- 
tion and  made  it  virile.  They  were  great  as  progenitors.  It 
was  the  greatness  of  the  Hebrew  patriarchs.  Their  intelligence, 
love  of  freedom  and  fidelity  to  conviction  would  have  been  short- 
lived but  for  the  vigorous  family  life  that  prevailed.  They  per- 
petuated themselves  in  children.  The  children  married,  blending 
diverse  social  elements,  and  transmitting  commingled  traits  to  a 
multiplying  people.  The  twenty  thousand  became  millions,  keep- 
ing still  the  forceful  character  of  the  first  colonists,  but  unfolding 
it  in  expressions  infinitely  varied. 

In  the  sister  colonies  many  of  the  conditions  were  similar. 
Sires  of  noble  lineage  in  Virginia  made  the  homes  out  of  which 
came  in  due  time  Washington,  Jefferson,  Madison,  Marshall, 
and  their  great  associates.  Penn  and  his  Quakers  gave  to  Penn- 
sylvania its  character  of  thrift  and  stability.  The  Dutch  planted 
themselves  in  New  York,  and  there  came  to  the  Carolinas  Scotch- 
Irish,  French  Huguenots  and  Protestants  of  other  nationalities, 
led  thither  by  the  spirit  of  freedom  and  the  purpose  to  rear  their 
children  in  the  fear  of  God. 

These  were  the  seed  widely  scattered  that  were  to  grow  together 
into  a  new  and  strong  nation. 

The  first  permanent  settlement  in  the  neighborhood  of  Boston 
was  that  of  Dorchester.  The  colonists,  one  hundred  and  forty  in 
number,  gathered  with  no  little  care  from  Devon,  Dorset  and 
Somersetshire,  in  England,  had  among  them  two  magistrates  and 
a  church  already  organized  with  two  ministers.  The  Sunday  after 
landing,  June  6,  1630,  services  of  gratitude  and  praise  were  held 
under  the  open  sky  and  the  community  was  formally  inaugurated. 
Four  or  five  years  later  there  was  a  movement  to  plant  a  colony  in 
the  fertile  valley  of  the  Connecticut,  which  resulted  in  the 
removal  of  most  of  the  Dorchester  people,  with  their  minister. 
Rev.  John  Warham,  to  Windsor,     At  the  same  time  many  ships

were  arriving  with  fresh  immigrants  from  England,  and  a  ready 
sale  was  found  for  the  improvements  they  had  made.  Of  the  new 
settlers  the  most  important  was  a  company  who  came  in  1635 
with  Rev.  Richard  Mather  from  Bristol,  in  the  ship  "  James." 
Mr.  Mather  was  chosen  minister  of  the  settlement ;  and  the 
changes  had  been  so  great  that  a  newly  organized  church  was 
instituted  under  an  especially  prepared  covenant,  which  reads  as 
follows : 

"  Dorchester,  the  23*''  day  of  the  ) 
6""  moneth,  Anno.  1636.  >

will  ;  opposing  to  the  utmost  of  o'  power,  whatsoever  is  contrary  thereunto,  &

most  holy  word. 

Of  the  integrity  of  o'  heartes  herein  wee  call  God  the  searcher  of  all  hearts  to

The  name  of  Thomas  Dickerman  first  appears  in  the  annals  of 
Dorchester  on  the  roll  of  the  church  and  among  the  earliest  sub-

scribers  to  this  covenant.  It  seems  likely  that  he  was  of  Mr. 
Mather's  company  and  came  with  him  from  England.  This  is  not 
proved,  however ;  nor  do  we  find  any  traces  of  his  previous  history. 
The  records  of  that  period  have  been  diligently  searched,  both  in 
this  country  and  in  England,  but  without  success. 

The  name,  taken  by  itself,  would  seem  to  indicate  a  German 
origin,  being  compounded  of  the  two  words  hid  or  bicfer  and  inann, 
meaning  sfouf  man.  It  belongs,  also,  to  many  German  families  at 
the  present  time  ;  and  several  representatives  of  these  families 
have  been  among  the  recent  immigrants  from  that  country  to 
America. 

This  suggestion  offers  a  wide  scope  for  fancy.  Our  ancestor 
may  have  been  in  the  great  struggles  for  religious  freedom  on  the 
continent  before  he  joined  the  Puritans.  Possibly  he  fled  from 
oppressions  there  in  the  hope  of  finding  a  freer  air  in  Protestant 
England  ;  and,  disappointed  in  this,  united  his  fortunes  to  those 
who  were  looking  to  lands  beyond  the  seas. 

In  this  uncertainty,  a  single  fact  seems  to  give  us  a  glimpse  into 
the  heart  of  the  man.  It  is  the  name  he  gave  his  son,  born  not 
long  before  he  sailed.  That  name  was  taken  from  the  earliest 
adventurer  for  conscience  sake  who  left  his  fatherland  and  "  went 
out  not  knowing  whither  he  went."  One  can  hardly  suppose  that 
this  child,  at  such  a  crisis  in  the  family  life,  was  called  ''Abraham  " 
without  thought  of  what  the  name  stood  for.  Rather  it  is  to  be 
taken  as  the  sign  that  his  parents  adopted  for  themselves  the 
motives  and  purpose  of  the  patriarch. 

We  may  infer  a  like  religious  meaning  in  the  baptismal  names 
of  their  later  children  "Isaac"  and  "John."  They  had  by  heart 
the  Genesis  tale  of  Isaac — that  long  promise  fulfilled,  the  sacrifice 
at  Moriah,  choosing  Rebecca,  digging  the  Philistine's  wells,  and 
winning  peace.  They  knew  of  John — fisherman,  aspirant  for  a 
right  hand  place,  beloved  disciple,  evangelist  and  revelator.  In 
giving  their  boys  these  names  they  had  reasons.  Parents  in  1635 
did  not  go  over  the  Atlantic  and  put  their  families  in  cabins 
among  Indians  and  wolves  for  a  conviction,  and  then  do  such 
things  as  this  without  meaning. 

We  know  it  was  a  habit  throughout  New  England  to  give  to 
children  Bible  names.  But  do  the  names  lose  their  rich  sugges- 
tiveness  on  this  account  ?  Is  it  not  truer  to  recognize  in  them  the 
unfolding  flower  of  a  loving  familiarity  with  Scripture  story  which 
everywhere  prevailed  ? 


COLONIAL  BEGINNINGS.  5 

The  new  settlers  in  Dorchester  were  soon  as  much  at  home  there 
as  those  who  had  been  longer  on  the  ground.  The  country  was 
new  and  wild,  but  not  so  wild  as  it  had  been.  Energy  and  thrift 
showed  their  effects.  Better  houses  were  built,  streams  were 
bridged,  roads  opened,  fences  made  and  more  land  brought  under 
cultivation.  At  first  the  lands  were  obtained  of  the  town  for  the 
asking.  But  it  was  not  long  before  they  began  to  have  market 
value.     One  of  the  earliest  entries  in  the  records  reads, 

"  It  is  generally  agreed  that  whosoever  doth  not  mowe  his  owne  lott  shall  not 
sell  it  to  any  for  above  Two  pence  an  acre." 

But  in  October^  ^^3^, 

"  It  is  ordered  euery  p'ticular  inhabitant  shall  take  a  viewe  of  his  house  and  gar- 
den and  hoame  lotts  how  they  lye  bounded  (towardes  other  mens,  or  towardes 
the  commons)  according  to  the  poynts  of  the  compasse,  and  so  of  their  great 
lotts  and  medow  ground  as  they  lay  bounded  euery  way,  and  the  number  of  acres 
of  all  such  lands." 

And  a  few  months  later,  January  i6, 

"  It  is  ordered  that  whosoeuer  breaketh  open  any  pale  shall  pay  fiue  shillings 
and  that  all  the  hoame  lotts  be  sufficiently  paled  by  the  first  of  March. 

It  is  ordered  that  all  the  land  both  of  the  great  necke  and  about  the  Towne  and 
of  both  sides  the  Riuer  of  Naponsett  which  is  not  already  allotted  out  shall  be 
deuided  into  p'priety  to  each  hoame  lott  according  to  p'portion  agreed  upon," 

Now  come  two  entries  relating  to  Thomas  Dickerman  as  fol- 
lows : 

January,  1637.  "  It  is  ordered  that  all  the  land  in  common  within  Dorchester 
one  both  sides  the  Riuer  Naponset  shall  be  deuided  according  to  the  rule  alredy 
agreed  vpon  for  deuideing  the  necke  all  convenient  watering  places  to  be  left

There  are  one  hundred  and  four  names  in  all, 

April  1st,  1640.  "It  is  ordered  that  Thomas  Dickerman,  Henry  Wright  and 
Thomas  Sampford  shall  haue  e^ch  of  them  one  aker  and  halfe  of  marsh  in  M'. 
Hawkins  neck  which  was  formerly  granted  them  and  not  booked." 


6  THE   FAMILY   IN    MASSACHUSETTS. 

With  this  growth  there  was  shown  care  for  other  interests,  par- 
ticularly for  education.  Dorchester  is  said  to  have  been  the  first 
community  known,  to  make  public  provision  for  a  free  school  by 
direct  tax  on  the  inhabitants. 

"  It  is  ordered  the  20"'  of  May  1639,  t^^*  "  there  shalbe  a  rent  of  20"  yeerely  for- 
eu'  imposed  vpon  Tomsons  Hand  to  bee  payd  p'  euy  p'son  that  hath  p'prtie  in 
the  said  Hand  according  to  the  p'portion  that  any  such  p'son  shall  fro  tyme  to 
tyme  injoy  and  posesse  there,  and  this  towards  the  mayntenance  of  a  schoole  in 
Dorchesf  this  rent  of  20"  yeerly  to  bee  payd  to  such  a  schoolemaster  as  shall 
vndertake  to  teach  english  latin  and  oih'  tongues  and  also  writing  the  say** 
schoolemaster  to  bee  chosen  fro  tyme  to  tyme  p'  the  freemen  and  that  is  left  to 
the  discretion  of  the  elders  and  the  7  men  for  the  tyme  beeing  whether  maydes 
shalbe  taught  with  the  boyes  or  not." 

After  a  short  trial  it  was  found  that  collecting  so  many  rents 
was  difficult  and  it  was  thought  best  to  have  the  land  conveyed  to 
the  town, 

"Whereas  the  Inhabitants  of  Dorchester  haue  formerly  ordered.  Consented 
and  agreed  that  a  Rente  of  Twentie  pound  p'  ann.  shall  issue  &  be  pay"^  by  the 
sayd  Inhabitants  &  their  heires  from  &  out  of  a  Certaine  porcon  of  land  in  Dor- 
chester called  Tomsons  Hand  for  &  towards  the  maintenance  of  a  schoole  in 
Dorchester  aforsa)'d.  And  that  vppon  experience  it  is  found  to  be  a  matter 
of  great  labour  &  difScultie  to  collect  the  sayd  rent  from  soe  many  severall 
p'sons  as  ought  to  pay  the  same  according  to  their  seuerall  p'portions  the 
p'sons  that  haue  title  to  land  in  the  sayd  Hand  &  who  therefore  ought  to  pay 
the  sayd  rent,  being  noe  lesse  in  number  then  sixscore  or  theraboute.  And 
inasmuch  as  the  sayd  rent  of  Twentie  pound,  when  it  is  duly  Collected  & 
payd,  is  not  of  it  self  sufficient  maintenance  for  a  schoole  without  some  addicon 
there  vnto.  For  the  augmentinge  therefor  of  the  sayd  rent  &  to  the  intent 
that  the  same  may  hencforth  be  more  readily  collected  and  payd,  It  is  heerby 
ordered  and  all  the  p'sent  Inhabitants  of  Dorchester  aforsayd  Whose  names 
are  heervnto  subscribed  doe  for  themselues  &  their  heires  heerby  Covenant, 
consent  and  agree  thatt  from  hencforth  the  sayd  Hand  and  all  the  benefitt 
&  p'fitts  therof  and  all  there  right  &  Interest  in  the  same  shalbe  wholy  & 
for  euer  bequeathed  and  given  away  from  themselues  &  their  heires  vnto  the 
Town  of  Dorchester  aforesayd  for  &  Towards  the  maintenance  of  a  free  schoole 
in  Dorchester  aforesayd  for  the  instructinge  &  Teachinge  of  Children  &  youth  in

There  are  connoisseurs  of  autographs  who  think  they  can  read 
a  man's  character  in  his  handwriting.  "What  is  the  character  in 
these  ink  lines  of  two  hundred  and  fifty  years  ago  ?  Plain,  bold, 
rugged,  a  little  angular,  perhaps,  but  transparent  and  easy  to  read. 
It  shows  best  among  the  seventy  others  with  which  it  stands  in 
the  manuscript — a  collection  not  so  elegant  as  may  be  found  in  a 
modern  album  yet  with  quite  as  much  manhood  back  of  them — 
and,  such  as  they  are,  we  do  not  find  one  with  which  this  will  not 
bear  comparison.

The  church  records  speak  only  of  the  baptism  of  his  two  sons, 
Isaac,  1637-8,  and  John,  29,  7  mo.,  1644  (Oct,  29,  1644),  and  of  the 
dismissal  of  his  widow  after  his  death,  14,  (4)  1663  (July  14,  1663), 
to  the  church  in  Meadfield  where  her  second  husband,  John  Bul- 
lard,  lived.  There  is  a  note  about  Isaac  written  later,  "  Removed 
to  Connecticut  ;"  but  this  is  doubtless  an  error,  confusing- 
him  with  his  brother  Abraham.  There  is  also  a  mention  of 
Sarah  Dickerman  in  a  list  of  "young  Maids  in  Dorchester"  in 
1676,  and  her  age  is  given  as  20.  She  was  probably  the  daughter 
of  Thomas  Dickerman,  of  Maiden,  born  Oct.,  1653,  and  her  enroll- 
ment with  the  Dorchester  maids  may  have  occurred  while  on  a 
visit. 

In  the  records  of  Dorchester  births,  marriages  and  deaths  are 
the  following  : 

"  Isaac,  the  son  of  Thomas  Dickerman  &  his  wife  was  Born  (gth)  1637.    (Dec, 

1637.) 
Thomas  Dickerman  Deceased  this  life  the  3:11:  1657.     (June  11,  1657.)

Major  Atherton  2.  10.  58.     (January  2,  1658,  old  style,  or  1659  new  style.)*" 

What  other  knowledge  we  can  gain  of  this  earliest  home  is 
derived  from  four  papers  which  are  given  below  :  the  first  and 
second,  deeds  of  property  in  Boston  ;  the  third,  a  deed  of  the

Ellen  Dickerman  deposed  before  the  Court  that  this  is  a  true  Inventory,  of  hir 
late  husbands  Jn"  (Thomas)  Dickermans  Estate  to  the  best  of  hir  knowledge,  that 
when  she  knows  more  she  will  discover  it     25:  ii*"":  1657 

Suffolk  Probate  vol.  Ill  pp.  iio-iii" 

From  these  papers  it  appears  that  Thomas  Dickerman  was  a 
tailor  and  that  he  also  cultivated  a  farm.  He  had  a  homestead  in 
Dorchester  where  he  owned  land  as  early  as  1636,  to  which  an 
addition  was  made  in  1637.  He  also  owned  a  house  and  land  in 
Boston  Neck  where  he  began  to  acquire  property  as  early  as  1652, 
to  which  he  added  in  1656.  This  constituted  the  more  valuable 
part  of  his  estate,  and  was  appraised  at  159^  ($726.00),  while  the 
farm  and  buildings  at  Dorchester  were  set  down  at  47;^  ($221.60), 
and  the  entire  property  at  235;^  11.  04.  ($1130.72).  Both  of  these 
places  were  within  the  limits  of  what  is  now  Boston.  The  home- 
stead was  on  the  west  side  of  the  highway  just  before  it  crossed 
Roxbury  brook,  the  boundary  between  Dorchester  and  Roxbury, 
ground  now  lying  on  Dudley  street  between  North  avenue  and 
Brook  avenue.  The  place  in  the  Neck  was  on  the  south  side  of 
Summer  street  tiear  the  present  junction  of  Bedford  street.  What 
use  was  made  of  this  Boston  property  we  can  only  guess.  Quite 
likely  the  tailoring  house  was  here.  The  additional  land  he 
bought  of  Bartholomew  Barnard  less  than  a  year  before  his  death, 
which  indicates  plans  that  he  did  not  live  to  carry  out. 

We  should  like  to  see  those  books,  the  first  item  in  the  Inven- 
tory, valued  at  2^.  03.  ($10.30) ;  not  a  large  library,  we  may  think  ; 


COLONIAL   BEGINNINGS.  1 3 

but  holding  a  high  place  in  a  house  where  all  the  rest  of  the  furni- 
ture was  appraised  at  less  than  $100.00.  In  how  many  houses 
to-day  would  the  books  be  appraised  at  a  tenth  of  all  the  furni- 
ture ?  Boston  people  had  not  yet  gone  into  the  publishing  busi- 
ness and  there  was  no  occasion  for  international  copyright.  Every 
printed  page  had  to  be  brought  from  the  other  side  of  the  sea. 
But  already  the  habit  of  "  plain  living  and  high  thinking  "  was 
in  some  of  these  cabins,  and  books  were  as  essential  as  daily 
bread. 

Two  years  after  Thomas  Dickerman's  death,  Sep.  10,  1659,  his 
widow,  Mrs.  Ellen  Dickerman,  bought  of  the  other  heirs  their 
rights  in  the  Dorchester  homestead.  John  had  died  before  this 
time,  Isaac  had  recently  come  of  age,  and  Abraham  was  married. 
Of  Abraham  we  know  that  he  removed  at  once  with  his  wife  to 
New  Haven,  and  we  have  a  full  narrative  of  his  life  there.  There 
are  no  vestiges  of  Isaac,  after  this  for  sixty  years,  till  in  1720  his 
name  appears  in  the  Boston  records.  There  is  some  uncertainty 
about  the  connection  of  Thomas  Dickerman  of  Maiden  with  this 
family.  No  documents  identify  him  with  them  ;  and  yet  there  is 
hardly  room  for  a  doubt  that  he  was  the  elder  son  of  Thomas  of 
Dorchester.  The  name  was  too  unusual,  not  only  in  the  colonies, 
but  in  England,  to  think  of  the  two  being  of  different  families. 
And  there  was  the  Boston  property,  so  much  the  larger  part  of  the 
estate — how  can  we  better  account  for  its  disposal  than  by  assum- 
ing that  it  went  into  the  hands  of  the  two  brothers  Thomas  and 
Isaac,  and  that  Isaac  continued  to  live  in  Boston  till  we  find  him 
and  his  son  there  long  afterwards  ? 

Thomas  Dickerman,  Jr.,  is  identified  with  Maiden,  where  he 
lived  and  reared  his  family.  A  deposition  taken  in  1658  speaks 
of  him  as  "aged  about  35."  This  fixes  his  birth  at  about  1623  ; 
and,  on  the  arrival  of  the  family  in  New  England,  he  was  proba- 
bly about  twelve  years  old — old  enough  to  be  useful,  and  perhaps 
to  earn  his  own  living.  This  will  account  for  the  absence  of  all 
reference  to  him  in  the  Dorchester  records.

CHAPTER   II. 


HOMES    AT    DORCHESTER,    MALDEN,    READING   AND 

MILTON. 

"  From  our  own  selves  our  joys  must  flow, 
And  that  dear  hut, — our  home." 

" The  Fireside"  Nathaniel  Cotton, 


The  home  in  Dorchester  is  to  be  sketched  in  our  fancy  as  a  rude 
cabin.  It  was  made  before  a  sawmill  had  been  started,  when  the 
pioneer  had  to  fell  the  trees  and  hew  them  into  shape  with  his  axe, 
to  form  the  best  four  walls  and  roof  that  ingenuity  could  devise. 
This  cabin  had  ** a  lower  room,"  and  "another  room,"  the  inven- 
tory says,  where  the  "  beds  "  were  :  and  what  quarters  there  may 
have  been  besides  we  can  only  imagine. 

One  can  see  the  fire-place  in  the  main  room,  with  broad  hearth, 
"andirons,"  crane  and  "hooks"  and  cooking  utensils.  Nearby 
is  the  "spinning  wheel"  with  its  load  of  "flax  :"  at  one  side  the 
"table:"  over  it,  perhaps,  shelves  with  their  treasure  of  "books:" 
the  "sword"  on  its  "belt"  in  a  corner :  the  "green  rug"  partly 
covers  the  floor :  the  " pewter  plates "  and  "cup"  are  ranged,  no 
doubt,  upon  the  chimney-piece,  and  the  "  hour-glass  "  at  one  end 
with  its  steadily  flowing  sands. 

A  little  way  from  the  house  is  the  "  barn,"  ruder  still,  but  giving 
shelter  for  the  cattle  :  and  around  is  a  tract  of  ground  under 
cultivation,  an  attractive  feature  of  which  is  the  young  "orchard." 

How  could  life  be  simpler  than  here?"  But  in  houses  like  this 
were  to  be  found  an  independence  and  serenity  of  spirit  unknown 
to  courts  and  palaces  :  a  quiet  happiness  that  many  who  lived  in 
splendor  might  have  envied. 

In  such  a  cabin  our  family  had  its  origin  in  America.  Here  for 
twenty  years  the  father  and  mother  lived  and  worked  and  trained 
their  children:  and  here  the  father  fell  ill  and  died,  little  dream- 
ing what  his  children's  children  of  coming  generations  would  do 
in  this  vast  region,  on  whose  edge  he  had  watched  for  lurking 
Indians  and  prowling  beasts  of  prey. 


l6  THE  FAMILY   IN   MASSACHUSETTS. 

It  seems  strange  that  this  homestead  was  so  soon  allowed  to  go 
out  of  the  family.  But  the  sons  of  pioneers  often  have  an  ambi- 
tion to  repeat  the  adventures  of  their  parents  and  to  advance 
another  step  into  the  new  lands  of  promise. 

The  oldest  son  seems  to  have  shown  this  spirit  as  he  came  to 
manhood,  and  early  established  himself  at  Maiden,  where  he 
brought  up  his  family  in  turn  and  lived  for  about  forty  years. 

But  after  his  death  this  house,  too,  passed  out  of  the  family. 
The  daughter  Mary  remained  in  the  neighborhood  unmarried  and 
seems  to  have  enjoyed  a  happy  old  age  among  life-long  friends. 
Her  sister,  Elizabeth,  married  a  leading  citizen  of  Milton,  which 
took  her  to  the  vicinity  of  the  old  Dorchester  home.  The  son 
John  took  up  his  abode  at  Reading,  where  his  children  were  born 
and  reared.  But  after  living  there  some  twenty-five  years  or 
more  and  with  age  creeping  on,  attractions  of  some  kind,  perhaps 
to  be  near  his  sister  now  living  in  Roxbury,  led  him  also  to  the 
vicinity  of  the  old  homestead,  and  he  spent  his  last  years  at 
Milton. 

His  son,  John  Dickerman,  Jr.,  did  not  remain  long  in  Reading 
after  his  father's  removal.  But  instead  of  returning  to  old  settle- 
ments, he,  with  a  young  man's  ambition  and  enterprise,  struck  out 
into  the  region  of  Stoughton  to  help  build  a  new  community 
there. 

Over  eighty  years  had  passed  since  Thomas  Dickerman  landed 
in  America,  and  as  yet  the  family  in  Massachusetts  numbered  but 
few.  It  was  different  in  New  Haven,  whither  the  second  son  had 
gone.  But  here  we  find  only  two  or  three  households  to  represent 
the  oldest  son,  and  only  one  for  the  youngest  son,  Isaac.  The 
beginning  had  been  slow. 

The  following  tables  present  the  family  in  orderly  arrangement.

1 8  THE  FAMILY  IN   MASSACHUSETTS. 

Concerning  three  of  this  family,  the  records  make  no  further  men- 
tion after  their  birth ;  and  of  the  rest  probably  none  but  John  left 
children.  Mary's  will  speaks  of  Elizabeth  and  John  only ;  and 
tells  us  that  Elizabeth,  in  her  will,  had  named  no  others.  This 
indicates  that  they  were  the  only  survivors.    The  will  is  as  follows  : 

"  In  the  Name  of  God  Amen  this  Twenty  ninth  day  of  October  Anno  Domini 
One  thousand  Seven  hundred  thirty  &  three,  Annoq  :  Regni  Regis  Georgii

CHAPTER   III. 


JOHN*  DICKERMAN  OF  STOUGHTON. 

"  In  blessing  I  will  bless  thee,  and  in  multiplying  I  will  multiply  thy  seed  as 

the  stars." 

Genesis,  xxii.  17. 

In  John  Eliot's  times  there  was  a  place  about  eighteen  miles 
south  of  Boston  known  as  Punkapoag,  meaning  "a  spring  that 
bubbles  up  from  the  red  soil."  Here  "the  apostle"  had  a  village 
of  "praying  Indians."  Years  afterwards  the  name  was  changed, 
and  it  was  called  after  the  Lieutenant  Governor  of  the  colony,  who 
was  William  Stoughton.  Under  this  name  was  embraced  a  terri- 
tory which  has  since  been  divided  into  many  towns.  The  parti- 
cular part  concerned  in  this  narrative  is  now  in  the  town  of 
Canton,  which  was  detached  from  Stoughton  and  incorporated  by 
itself  February  23,  1797. 

John*  Dickerman's  name  first  appears  in  Stoughton  annals  on 
the  roll  of  the  church;  to  which  he  was  received  June  22,  1718, 
about  a  year  after  the  church  was  organized.  He  bought  a  farm 
and  made  this  his  permanent  home.  Some  of  his  descendants, 
bearing  the  name,  have  continued  to  live  there  till  the  present 
time,  and  hundreds  have  gone  to  make  other  homes  in  all  parts  of 
the  country. 

John*  Dickerman=Mary  Tucker. 

6.  John*  Dickerman,  son  of  John'  and  Sarah  Dickerman 
(Thomas'*,  Thomas'),  b.  1692,  at  Reading,  and  living  there  when  his 
first  two  children  were  born,  their  names  being  given  in  the  Read- 
ing records  :  removed  to  that  part  of  Stoughton  now  known  as 
Canton,  and  was  received  into  the  church  June  22,  17 18,  d.  there

30  THE  FAMILY   IN   MASSACHUSETTS. 

Charles  Dickerman*  Sr.  was  a  deacon  of  the  Congregational 
church  at  Braintree.  At  the  time  of  his  death,  the  pastor,  Rev, 
R.  S.  Storrs,  D.D.,  gave  the  following  testimonial  to  his  excel- 
lences : 

An  Israelite  indeed,  in  whom  there  was  no  guile,  faithful  in  all  his  house,  full 
of  good  works  and  almsdeeds,  always  ready  to  the  charge  of  duty,  however  self- 
denying  ;  affectionate  in  his  disposition  ;  gentle  in  his  conversation,  firm  in  his 
attachment  to  all  that  is  good,  and  in  opposition  to  whatever  is  evil  ;  a  pattern 
in  all  things  to  his  brethren  in  the  church  ;  an  unfailing  friend  of  his  pastor,  and 
all  true  ministers  of  Christ ;  and  spiritually  minded  beyond  many  of  his  equals. 
A  long  protracted  sickness  was  endured  with  singular  patience,  and  death  was 
met  as  a  welcome  friend,  with  the  last  words  on  his  lips,  "  Heaven  is  near,  I 
desire  to  depart  and  be  with  Christ."  Irreparable  is  the  loss  to  his  family  and 
the  church  ;  but  infinite  gain  to  his  ransomed  spirit.

on  the  death  of  his  father,  left  college  to  carry  on  the  business. 

n.    Caroline  Miller',  b.  Feb.  14,  1833,  d.  April  2,  1834,  at  Worcester. 

Mrs.  Hannah  P.*  D.  Smith  has  assisted  in  preparing  the  record 
of  her  father's  family  and,  at  the  age  of  eighty-four,  has  manifested 
great  interest  in  these  historical  researches.  She  says,  "  I  have 
found  in  an  old  book  the  list  of  fifty-four  persons  who  attended 
the  singing  school  of  William  Billings  in  Stoughton  in  1774. 
Among  them  are  John,  Jerusha,  and  Elizabeth  Dickerman.  I  sup- 
pose they  were  my  great  uncle  and  aunts.  Mr.  Billings  was  a 
composer  of  music  as  well  as  a  teacher.  He  with  some  of  his 
pupils  formed  the  Stoughton  Musical  Society,  Nov.  7,  1786,  which 
is  now  in  existence  and  known  as  the  'Old  Stoughton  Club.'  The 
Handel  and  Haydn  Society  came  from  this  old  society.  You  will 
find  a  good  deal  of  music  in  the  Dickerman  family." 

Lewis  Bradley*  Russell  was  in  business  at  Waltham,  Mass.,  for  a 
number  of  years,  till  in  1863  he  established  himself  at  Lynn  and 
became  an  active  and  influential  citizen  there,  being  honored  with 
many  positions  of  esteem  and  confidence.  He  was  treasurer  of 
The  Russell  Counter  Company  of  Woburn  and  of  The  Chatta- 
nooga Land  Company.  He  was  one  of  the  first  directors  of  The 
Equitable  Cooperative  Bank  of  Lynn,  and  his  associate  directors 
gave  this  testimonial,  "  that  during  fourteen  years  they  found  him 
a  valued  friend  and  counsellor,  and  one  to  whose  good  judgment 
and  wise  foresight  the  Bank  owed  much  of  its  prosperity."  He 
was  a  member  of  the  Masonic  fraternity  at  Lynn  and  at  Boston. 
He  was  identified  with  the  Central  Congregational  Church  and 
was  serving  on  its  Parish  and  Building  Committees  at  the  time  of 
his  death,  when  the  following  Resolution  was  passed  :  "  That  in 
his  relations  with  us  he  always  maintained  the  character  of  a 
Christian  gentleman,  active  in  good  works,  earnest  for  the  success 
of  the  principles  he  professed  and  thoroughly  loyal  to  the  Church 
and  Society,  of  which  he  was  for  many  years  a  faithful  member 


AT   STOUGHTON.  33 

and  trusted  officer."  An  obituary  in  the  press  says  of  him  that 
"  he  was  retiring  in  disposition  but  of  a  nature  full  of  good  humor 
and  fellowship,  endearing  him  to  countless  friends." 

Waldo  Bradley"  Russell  was  a  young  man  of  promise,  an  active 
member  of  the  church  and  of  the  various  societies  connected  with 
it.  Those  who  had  business  relations  with  him  found  him  upright, 
gentlemanly  and  winning  in  his  traits.  A  loyal  friend,  a  dutiful 
son  and  brother,  he  left  a  large  circle  of  friends  to  mourn  his  loss. 
His  last  words  were,  "  All  is  right,  I  have  Christ  in  me,  the  hope 
of  glory,"

I.  Nathan  Dickerman*  Johnson,  b.  Sep.  27,  1849,  at  Roxbury. 

Nathan^  Dickerman  lived  in  Boston  and  was  by  trade  a  carpen- 
ter. He  and  his  wife  were  members  of  the  Congregational  church 
of  which  Rev.  Gorham  Abbott  was  the  pastor.  They  made  their 
home  eminently  Christian  and  the  spirituality  which  prevailed 
there  bore  choice  fruit  in  their  children.  Some  sixty  years  ago 
The  Memoir  of  Nathan  W.  Dickerman  was  one  of  the  most  popular 
and  attractive  books  in  Sunday  School  libraries.  The  sweet  child's 
face,  which  looked  out  from  among  his  pillows  in  the  frontispiece, 
was  the  winsome  introduction  to  a  story  of  loving  faith  which 
seemed  all  too  short,  as  it  recalled  the  Savior's  words,  "  For  of 
such  is  the  kingdom  of  heaven."  Persons  who  knew  the  family 
speak  of  the  younger  daughter  Rebecca,  who  married  Rev.  J.  B. 
Johnson,  as  also  a  person  of  unusually  strong  and  beautiful 
character,  beloved  and  admired  by  those  who  knew  her.  Who  can 
tell  what  they  might  have  accomplished  if  they  had  lived  longer  ? 
One  only  survived  to  a  ripe  age,  and  illustrated  in  full  measure  that 
highest  product  of  human  life,  a  symmetrical  character,  the  out- 
growth of  choice  inherited  traits  unfolding  in  the  congenial 
atmosphere  of  a  Christian  home.  More  will  be  said  of  this  elder 
daughter  in  connection  with  the  following  family.

An  attractive  Memoir  of  Mrs.  Sanford  has  been  put  in  print 
and  describes  her  as  a  beautiful  and  gifted  woman.  She  was 
educated  by  Rev.  Jacob  Abbott  at  the  Mount  Vernon  school  in 
Boston.  For  seven  or  eight  years  she  was  a  pupil  of  Dr.  Lowell 
Mason,  the  musical  composer,  with  Avhom  she  was  a  favorite,  not 
only  for  her  musical  ability  but  on  account  of  her  amiable  temper 
and  uniform  good  nature.  She  was  a  member  of  the  Bowdoin 
Street  Congregational  church  in  early  life,  but  afterward,  through 
change  of  conviction,  became  a  member  of  the  Baptist  church  to 
which  her  husband  belonged. 

Owing  to  a  delicate  constitution  her  health  began  to  fail  and 
her  physician  advised  her  to  try  the  virtue  of  a  southern  climate. 
At  the  same  time  an  invitation  was  extended  her  to  teach  music  in 
a  large  school  for  young  ladies  at  Madison,  Ga.  The  proposal  was 
accepted.  The  change  of  climate  restored  her  health  ;  and  for 
about  three  years,  from  1837  to  1840,  she  was  associated  with  Pro- 
fessors Chase  and  Pierce,  first  at  Madison,  and  afterward  at  Pen- 
field,  Ga.  The  thorough  knowledge  she  possessed  of  the  science 
of  music,  her  love  of  the  art,  her  ability  to  execute,  and  her  readi- 
ness to  assist  others  in  their  struggle  to  learn,  made  her  a  most 
valuable  assistant. 

While  living  at  Penfield  she  became  acquainted  with  Prof. 
Sanford  of  Mercer  University,  and  this  acquaintance  led  to  their 
marriage  ;  after  which  she  ceased  teaching,  but  still  continued  a 
member  of  the  choir.  She  also  taught  in  the  Sunday  School,  of 
which  her  husband  was  the  Superintendent,  and  continued  this 
work  for  many  years  after  her  removal  to  Macon.  Prof.  Sanford 
was  not  only  a  Professor  in  Mercer  University,  but  an  educator 
whose  influence  extended  widely  over  the  country,  as  his  mathe- 
matical text  books  were  used  in  hundreds  of  schools.  To  him 
she  was  a  true  helpmate,  sympathizing  with  him,  counselling  him, 


38  THE  FAMILY  IN   MASSACHUSETTS. 

and  encouraging  him  in  all  his  work.  Her  house  was  always  the 
hospitable  home  for  the  Trustees  of  the  University,  or  for 
strangers  attending  the  Commencements.  During  the  civil  war, 
while  her  only  son  and  her  son-in-law  were  with  General  Lee  in 
the  army  of  Northern  Virginia,  she  was  one  of  those  who  met 
almost  every  evening  to  pray  for  the  soldiers. 

Home  was  the  sphere  where  her  virtues  shone  most  con- 
spicuously. Modesty,  fortitude,  punctuality,  neatness,  regularity, 
uncommon  energy  and  perseverance  marked  her  character.  She 
uniformly  made  lasting  friends,  who,  scattered  over  Georgia  and 
other  states,  remember  her  with  affection  and  gratitude. 

The  Trustees  of  Mercer  paid  their  tribute  to  her  worth  in  these 
words  :  "  While  he  (Prof.  Sanford)  has  been  connected  with  this 
institution  for  more  than  fifty  years,  and  has  contributed  as  much 
as  any  other  one  man,  perhaps,  to  its  present  high  distinction,  we 
do  not  forget  that  she,  too,  has  been  connected  with  it,  intimately, 
as  long,  and  that  during  this  half  century  of  the  University's 
existence,  it  has  had  no  warmer  or  more  steadfast  friend  and 
helper.  She  has  most  hospitably  entertained  its  guests  for  a  life- 
time— has  witnessed  its  struggles  from  its  infancy  until  now — has 
been  a  helper  indeed  to  her  husband,  in  the  high  national  distinc- 
tion he  has  attained  as  an  author,  and  is  worthy,  thus,  to  have  her 
name  embalmed  in  the  records  of  the  University.  She  stands  as 
Mercer's  mother  friend  ....  and  it  will  never  be  known 
how  much  these  devout  women  have  done,  in  moulding  the  char- 
acters of  the  hundreds  of  young  men  who  have  been  brought 
under  their  influence."

A  Boston  paper  of  Jan.  13,  1892,  gives  an  interesting  report  of 
a  meeting  of  Brimmer  School  graduates,  from  which  the  following 
passages  are  taken  : 

"  '  Live  for  one  hour  our  youth  again  ; 
Give  back  our  childhood's  joys  ; 
Renew,  old  time,  thy  early  reign, 
For  these  few  gray-haired  boys.' 

An  even  hundred  Brimmer  school  graduates,  covering  a  period  of  over  half  a 
century,  dined  together  at  Young's  last  night,  at  the  15th  annual  banquet  of  the 
school  association,  which  was  organized  upon  the  retirement  of  the  late  lamented 
master  of  the  school,  Mr.  Joshua  Bates,  and  is  the  oldest  grammar  school  asso- 
ciation in  Boston. 


AT   STOUGHTON.  4I 

Winter  and  spring  sat  elbow  to  elbow,  the  old  boys  looking  serene,  comfort- 
able and  prosperous,  uttering  words  of  wisdom  for  the  benefit  of  youth.  The  lat- 
ter listened  with  respectful  attention,  and  joined  with  the  enthusiasm  of  early 
manhood  in  the  merriment  aroused  by  reminiscences  of  the  early  graduates, 
which  proved  the  one  touch  of  nature  that  makes  the  whole  world  kin. 

Letters  conveying  good  wishes  were  received  from  Governor  Russell,  Mr. 
Charles  Prescott,  the  first  president  of  the  association,  and  Mr.  Charles  Furnald, 
class  of  '51,  now  United  States  consul  at  Hilo,  Sandwich  Islands. 

Mr.  Dickerman,  master  of  the  school,  gave  some  account  of  the  school's  present 
condition.  He  cordially  invited  the  old  boys  to  visit  the  school  oftener,  and  thought 
their  presence,  occasionally,  would  benefit  the  school.  They  would  be  warmly 
welcomed  on  the  afternoons  preceding  Washington's  birthday  and  Memorial  day, 
visitation  day  and  May  graduation  day."

Peter  Dickerman,  the  father,  was  a  tanner  at  Stoughton.  He 
had  a  remarkable  memory,  at  least  for  the  Bible.  He  was  able  to 
quote  at  once  almost  any  passage  of  the  scriptures,  and  was  ready 
and  effective  in  discussions  on  their  meaning.

sion.    Most  of  her  teaching  was  in  Stoughton  and  vicinity,  to  be 
near  her  parents.     After  their  death  she  taught  in  Somerville, 
residing  with  her  sister,  Mrs.  Stevens,  at  Randolph. 

A  half  century  or  more  ago  a  leading  industry  in  Massachusetts 
was  boot  and  shoe  making.  Nearly  every  farm-house  had  a  shop 
in  the  door  yard,  or  some  attic  room  in  the  house,  fitted  up  for  the 
purpose.  The  eight  children  in  this  family  worked  on  boot  mak- 
ing more  or  less,  when  not  at  school,  or  working  on  the  farm,  or 
at  house  work.  Each  of  them,  after  leaving  the  public  schools, 
attended  academy  or  private  school,  away  from  home.  Jonathan, 
Edwin  and  Maria  studied  at  Milton  ;  Edwin,  Winslow,  Mary, 
Amory  and  Dean  Forbes,  studied  at  New  Hampton,  or  at  Han- 
cock, N,  H,  They  all  taught  school — in  Stoughton,  Sharon,  Ran- 
dolph, Bridgewater,  Easton,  Milford,  Milton,  Dorchester,  Rox- 
bury,  Charlestown,  Somerville  or  Boston — in  the  aggregate  over 
one  hundred  years. 

In  the  old  school  district.  No.  5,  Stoughton,  there  were  four 
families,  on  one  side  of  the  street,  within  a  distance  of  half  a 
mile,  having  twenty-five  children,  twenty-two  of  whom  were 
school  teachers.  The  family  have  been  Unitarians  or  Universal- 
ists  in  creed  ;  in  politics  anti-slavery,  free-soilers,  and  Republicans. 
They  have  tried  to  instruct  and  aid  men,  women  and  children. 


44  THE   FAMILY   IN   MASSACHUSETTS. 

Jonathan'  Battles  Jr.  taught  school  nearly  a  quarter  of  a  century, 
mostly  in  Boston.  "  His  life  was  one  of  constant  activity.  He 
was  amiable,  uniformly  kind  to  all,  and  of  unblemished  integrity  ; 
seldom  sick  or  disabled  till  two  years  before  his  death,  when  he 
was  stricken  with  paralysis  and  rendered  helpless.  He  was  a 
devoted  husband,  a  loving  father,  a  faithful  friend,  an  esteemed 
and  respected  neighbor  and  citizen,  and  an  earnest  anti-slavery 
man  when  the  cross  was  heavy  to  wear." 

Winslow*  Battles  taught  some  eighteen  years — at  Stoughton, 
Dorchester,  and  Boston  (Mayhew  School).  He  was  distinguished 
for  his  interest  in  vocal  music,  as  connected  with  public  worship  ; 
was  a  member  of  the  Randolph  Choral  Society,  and  President  of 
the  Old  Stoughton  Musical  Society  from  1873  to  1888,  Chairman 
of  School  Board,  and  Massachusetts  State  Senator  for  two  terms, 
an  advocate  of  prohibitory  legislation,  and  a  power  in  politics. 
He  was  a  ready  debater,  a  pleasing  speaker  and  a  graceful  presid- 
ing officer.  The  Christian  graces  shone  in  his  character  and  he 
was  beloved  and  honored  by  hosts  of  friends. 

Amory"  Battles  was  educated  at  Colby  University  and  Harvard 
Divinity  School,  ordained  Jan.  i,  185 1,  to  the  pastorate  of  the 
Universalist  church  in  Bangor,  which  he  held  till  March  i,  1872, 
when  he  resigned.  He  preached  one  year  in  West  Newton,  Mass., 
about  four  years  in  Orono,  Me.,  two  years  in  Waterville  and  six 
years  in  Dexter,  retaining  his  residence  in  Bangor  till  his  death. 
"  He  was  earnest,  able  and  eloquent,  an  active,  devoted,  untiring 
pastor,  a  pleasant,  genial,  whole-souled  neighbor  and  friend,  a  man 
of  the  strictest  uprightness  and  straightforwardness.  In  time  of 
peace  an  unswerving  advocate  of  temperance,  morality  and  free- 
dom, and  in  war  devoting  himself  to  the  eloquent  advocacy  of  the 
Union,  helping  to  fill  the  ranks  of  the  armies  and  doing  yeoman's 
work  for  the  support  of  the  Sanitary  and  Christian  Commissions. 
Had  he  written  his  own  epitaph  he  could  not  have  struck  it  nearer 
than  in  the  line  from  Leigh  Hunt, 

'  Write  me  as  one  who  loved  his  fellow-man.'  "

prominent  in  town  affairs.  In  1858  he  was  the  successful  advocate 
of  a  free  public  library  open  to  all,  as  against  a  stock  library 
company.  At  the  opening  of  the  war  in  186 1  he  was  efficient  on 
committees  to  aid  in  fitting  out  soldiers,  to  look  after  their  fami- 
lies and  care  for  the  wounded  on  their  return.  In  1878  he  became 
financial  agent  of  "  The  Mass.  Children's  Protective  Society,"  and 
when  in  1880  this  was  merged  in  "  The  Mass.  Soc.  for  the  Preven- 
tion of  Cruelty  to  Children,"  he  was  continued  in  the  same  office, 
which  he  still  holds,  in  1892,  of  which  he  writes  :  "  We  have  on 
our  books  between  12,000  and  13,000  unfortunate  families  or  parts 
of  families,  involving  over  40,000  children."

Wyatt'  Dickerman,  the  father,  married  at  eighteen  and  followed 
the  trade  of  a  bootmaker.  He  was  industrious,  temperate  and  an 
excellent  workman  ;  paid  for  his  farm  by  his  trade,  and  was  pros- 


AT  STOUGHTON.  47 

perous  for  a  mechanic  and  farmer  of  those  days.  He  was  noted 
for  strict  integrity,  ingenuity  and  musical  ability.  He  invented  a 
new  method  of  setting  scions  in  grafting  fruit  trees  that  was  more 
expeditious  than  the  old  way  and  so  sure,  that  he  was  ready  to 
warrant  ninety-nine  out  of  every  hundred  to  grow.  Until  after 
middle  age  he  had  used  tobacco  and  liquor  temperately  at  home, 
but  left  off  the  use  of  both  on  account  of  the  example  to  his  chil- 
dren, whom  he  advised  to  use  neither. 

His  oldest  son  Wyatt*,  after  some  school  teaching,  pursued  the 
art  of  a  portrait  painter,  but  after  the  introduction  of  daguerreo- 
types turned  his  attention  to  interior  decoration  and  carriage 
painting, 

George  Henry'  Dickerman,  after  teaching  school,  working  in  a 
boot  manufactory  and  in  a  nursery,  started  the  manufacture  of 
paper  boxes  and  collars  in  Boston.  By  great  skill,  ingenuity, 
integrity  and  business  tact  he  has  acquired  a  good  reputation  and 
wealth. 

Enos  Talbot*  Dickerman  had  good  artistic  abilities  and  unusual 
inventive  and  mathematical  talent.  After  some  teaching,  he 
became  a  civil  engineer  and  made  rapid  advancement  till  he  was 
second  in  rank  of  the  engineers  engaged  in  surveying  the  New 
York  and  Erie  railroad,  when  he  died  at  the  age  of  twenty-two. 

Albert*  began  life  as  a  lawyer,  in  his  native  town  of  Stoughton, 
which  he  continued  for  ten  years,  serving  one  term  in  the  legisla- 
ture. After  marriage  he  settled  in  Boston,  and  in  a  few  years 
retired  from  active  practice  of  the  law  to  devote  himself  to  land- 
scape painting  and  mechanical  pursuits,  being  about  equally  fond 
of  both. 

Wyatt*,  George*,  Enos*,  Mary*,  Albert*  and  Juliet*,  all  were 
school  teachers  in  early  life  ;  and  of  their  next  neighbor's  family, 
their  cousins,  nine  of  the  children  were  teachers,  several  of  them 
continuing  it  as  a  life-work. 

The  foregoing  account  is  given  by  Mr.  Albert'  Dickerman,  who 
adds  :  "  I  have  been  careful  not  to  overdraw.  I  wish,  however, 
that  every  work  of  genealogy  could  be  comprehensive  enough  to 
give  peculiarities  and  successes  of  the  individuals,  that  we  might 
know  more  of  our  relatives  and  ancestors,  and  hand  down  to  our 
successors  something  more  than  names  and  dates."  Mr.  Dicker- 
man's  home  in  Boston  is  full  of  choice  works  of  art  from  his  own 
brush  and  chisel,  and  illustrates  in  its  adornments  his  love  of  the 
delicate  and  beautiful. 


48  THE   FAMILY   IN   MASSACHUSETTS. 

The  following  concerning  Mrs.  Mary"  Stewart  is  condensed 
from  the  Appleton,  Wisconsin,  Post,  of  January  19,  1892  : 

**  Mary  J.  Dickerman  came  to  Waukesha  to  live  with  her  sister. 
She  was  accomplished  in  French,  German  and  Music,  and,  having 
taught  before  in  Massachusetts,  became  a  teacher  here  in  the 
"  Union "  school  and  afterward  in  the  "  Academy,"  where  her 
special  work  was  training  teachers.  After  her  marriage  she 
taught  in  Manitowoc,  Grand  Rapids  and  Berlin,  as  well  as  at 
Waukesha.  She  acted  for  three  months  as  county  superintendent 
of  Waukesha  and  was  afterward  appointed  visitor  to  the  Plattville 
Normal  School.  She  was  a  member  of  the  Congregational 
church  for  nearly  twenty-five  years,  and  made  lasting  friends  in 
all  the  positions  she  was  called  to  fill.  Transparently  honest, 
brave  and  just,  though  retiring  and  reticent,  she  was  loving,  kind 
and  faithful  to  duty."

AT   STOUGHTON.  5 1 

Mr.  Edwin'  Battles,  the  nephew  of  Mrs.  Guild,  writes  as  follows  : 
"My  uncle  and  aunt  Guild  were  most  excellent  people.  They 
were  married  by  Rev.  Calvin  Park,  who  preached  in  Stoughton, 
and  were  members  of  his  church,  and  their  son  Calvin  was  named 
after  him.  The  last  time  I  visited  my  aunt  was  in  the  summer 
before  she  passed  away.  I  said  to  her.  How  do  you  feel  in  regard 
to  passing  away?  She  said,  'Sometimes  I  feel  that  I  shall  not  be 
accepted.'  I  replied  at  once,  *  Aunt  Polly,  one  who  has  lived  such 
a  life  as  you  have  cannot  be  rejected.'  I  am  pleased  here  to  say 
this  of  her." 


CHAPTER   IV. 


DR.  LEMUEL'  DICKERMAN  OF  BRATTLEBORO. 

"  But  on  and  up,  where  nature's  heart 
Beats  strong  amid  the  hills." 

— Richard  Monckton  Milnes. 

For  nearly  a  hundred  and  fifty  years  after  the  earliest  settle- 
ments, little  progress  was  made  towards  occupying  north-western 
New  England.  The  towns  of  the  Connecticut  valley  from  Hadley 
to  Northfield  were  the  white  man's  outposts ;  and  these  were  so 
threatened  and  harried  by  Indians  as  to  make  life  a  continual  ter- 
ror. It  was  not  safe  to  venture  many  miles  from  a  village  unpro- 
tected, and  none  thought  of  going  into  the  forests  to  clear  the 
ground  and  make  a  home.  To  do  so  would  have  courted  pillage 
and  massacre. 

But  little  by  little  the  wily  foe  was  brought  to  terms  or  driven 
back,  till,  with  the  close  of  the  French  and  Indian  war  in  1760, 
the  whole  region  became  habitable  and  open  to  occupation. 

It  had  not  long  to  wait.  The  enterprising  and  adventurous 
were  soon  flocking  thither  from  all  the  older  communities. 

Brattleboro  on  the  river,  and  only  a  little  way  above  Northfield, 
was  like  a  kind  of  gateway  to  all  the  upper  valley  between  the 
mountains  of  New  Hampshire  and  those  of  Vermont,  and  became 
an  attractive  center. 

The  movement  to  these  new  regions  was  largely  from  Connecti- 
cut. We  see  this  in  the  names  of  many  towns,  as  well  as  in  the 
names  of  the  people.  This  is  explained  by  the  greater  ease  of 
travel  along  the  streams  and  up  the  valleys  from  south  to  north  ; 
so  that  one  could  reach  western  Massachusetts  and  Vermont  much 
more  readily  from  Hartford  or  the  towns  upon  the  Sound  than 
from  the  neighborhood  of  Boston. 

So  it  came  to  pass  that  there  were  some  of  the  New  Haven 
Dickermans  in  Brattleboro  very  early — probably  before  1764.  We 
shall  recur  to  this  again  in  our  narrative  of  Abraham  Dickerman's 
family. 


AT   BRATTLEBORO.  53 

But  here  our  interest  centers  on  a  vigorous  young  man  who  left 
his  home  in  Stoughton,  and  made  the  hard  journey  across  the 
country,  and  over  the  hills,  to  the  same  objective  point.  The  His- 
tory of  Brattleboro  tells  us  that  ''  I^emuel  Dickerman  when  a  boy 
was  a  bound  apprentice  to  learn  shoemaking  in  Massachusetts,  but 
left  his  employer  and  traveled  on  foot  to  Brattleboro."  Here  he 
obtained  employment  on  the  farm  of  Dr.  Henry  Wells,  a  man  of 
large  estate,  and  of  no  little  eminence  as  a  physician.  From  him, 
it  is  said  that  Dr.  Dickerman  learned  his  profession,  and  "became 
so  accomplished  that  he  assisted  him  in  practice,  until  so  many 
patients  preferred  the  young  doctor,  that  the  old  one  sold  out  and 
went  to  Montague,  Mass." 

Enough  other  reasons  are  to  be  found  for  Dr.  Wells'  change. 
His  going  to  Montague  gave  him  advantages  that  he  did  not  have 
at  Brattleboro,  and  he  used  these  so  well  as  to  attain  distinction 
even  in  Boston  and  Albany,  whither  he  was  sometimes  called  for 
consultation. 

"Dr.  Dickerman  was  the  second  established  physician  in  Brat- 
tleboro and  the  longest  in  practice.  With  but  one  exception,  no 
physician  in  the  place  has  lived  so  many  years,  and  few,  if  any, 
have  had  a  more  successful  career.  He  was  a  good  manager ; 
attending  faithfully  to  a  wide  practice  and,  at  the  same  time,  car- 
rying on  successfully  a  large  farm,  situated  at  East  Village,  about 
three  miles  north-west  of  Brattleboro  Center.  The  old  house  he 
occupied  was  yet  standing  in  1869  without  change,  except  that 
caused  by  time  and  neglect.  There  is  character  expressed  in  a 
well-preserved  painting.  Blending  with  good  humor  and  pene- 
tration is  something  that  tells  of  conscious  power  in  reserve  for 
occasion. 

The  accuracy  and  quickness  of  perception  for  which  he  was 
noted,  and  also  a  proclivity  for  the  healing  art,  seem  to  have 
been  hereditary  in  his  posterity  to  the  third  generation.  His  son, 
Dr.  John  Locke  Dickerman,  was  an  established  physician  here 
about  forty  years  ;  and  his  two  sons,  William  and  Lemuel,  have 
been  members  of  the  same  profession  in  Eastern  Massachusetts." 

His  wife,  Lucinda  Arms,  was  of  an  excellent  family.  Her  father 
was  Major  John  Arms,  officer  of  a  regiment  stationed  at  Brattle- 
boro in  1766  ;  and  her  mother  was  Susanna  Willard,  a  daughter 
of  Colonel  Josiah  Willard,  who  held  command  at  Fort  Dummer, 
as  early  as  1740.  The  children  of  Dr.  Dickerman  are  thus  inheri- 
tors from  the  military  chiefs  who  held  this  frontier  post  in  the 


54  FROM  MASSACHUSETTS  TO  VERMONT. 

Indian  wars  and  preceded  the  actual  settlers.  This  accounts  for 
the  recurrence  of  the  names  Willard  and  Arms.  It  may  account, 
also,  in  part,  for  the  heroic  spirit  shown  in  some,  of  whose  lives 
we  are  here  allowed  a  glimpse.

In  1886  an  article  appeared  in  the  Fall  Mall  Gazette  of  London,  in  connection 
with  the  Oxford  conference  of  the  "  Head  Mistresses  Association,"  which 
alludes  to  Miss  Harriet  E.  Dickerman  as  illustrating  how  a  woman  may  succeed 
in  gaining  a  government  office.  "Showing  a  talent  for  art,  she  studied  awhile, 
and  taught  painting  in  one  or  two  schools,  notably  the  Tilden  school,  at  Leb- 
anon. Convinced  that  a  better  knowledge  of  her  art  was  requisite,  she  sought 
instruction  in  Boston,  and,  to  pay  her  way,  found  a  place  in  the  internal  revenue 
office.  After  staying  there  several  months  and  giving  satisfaction  by  her  sys- 
tematic ways,  her  quick  comprehension  and  faithfulness,  she  was  transferred  to 
the  state  house  as  clerk,  under  Mr.  Slack,  whom  she  has  succeeded. 

She  passed  the  civil  service  examination,  and  has  learned  by  heart  all  the 
duties  of  her  position.  Her  example  will  show  women  what  it  is  possible  to 
attain  if  they  take  up  their  work  earnestly  and  honestly  and  with  an  interest  to 
do  it  well,  for  the  work's  sake  as  well  as  their  own."

Mrs.  Harriett  M.  Haven  was  spoken  of  by  the  Rutland  press,  at 
the  time  of  her  death,  as  a  remarkable  woman,  active  in  every  good 
work.  "  She  was  president  of  the  Auxiliary  of  the  Women's  Board 
of  Foreign  Missions,  vice-president  for  Vermont  of  the  National 
Women's  Christian  Temperance  Union,  president  of  the  State 
Union  and  also  of  the  local  Temperance  Society.  Her  efforts 
were  unceasing  and  laborious  to  advance  the  cause  of  temper- 
ance ;  she  ably  exerted  her  influence  to  prevent  the  combination 
of  the  Women's  Temperance  Union  with  the  women's  suffrage 
movement ;  and  the  temperance  cause  in  Rutland  probably  owes 
more  to  her  than  to  any  other  one  person,  for  she  never  knew 
such  a  thing  as  defeat. 

It  was  all  a  Christian  life  with  her.  She  did  what  she  did, 
because  she  believed  she  was  right,  and  being  right  there  could  be 
no  ultimate  failure.     In  her  composition  was  much  of  the  material 


62  THE   FAMILY   IN   MASSACHUSETTS. 

of  which  reformers  are  made, — energy,  industry,  consecration.  She 
received  her  instructions  from  above  and  she  was  tireless  in  carry- 
ing them  out. 

Her  deep  religious  experience  and  knowledge  of  the  Bible  made 
her  an  unusual  Sunday  school  teacher.  Her  place  at  religious 
meetings  was  rarely  vacant  and  what  she  had  to  do  was  always 
well  done." 

The  following  sketch  of  Dr.  Lemuel  Dickerman  is  condensed 
from  an  article  published  at  Foxboro. 

"  Few  men  of  this  town  and  its  vicinity  would  be  more  missed 
or  lamented  than  will  be  the  veteran  physician  and  family  friend, 
Dr.  Lemuel  Dickerman.  He  was  of  a  family  of  physicians,  his 
father  and  grandfather  having  been  successful  practitioners,  and 
acquiring  fame  for  their  skill  and  ability. 

He  was  graduated  at  the  Castleton  Medical  College,  now  the 
University  of  Vermont,  in  1845.  After  a  year's  practice  with  Dr. 
Lewis  in  Boston  he  settled  in  Medfield  and  practiced  there  seven 
years.  During  this  time  he  was  frequently  called  to  Foxboro,  and 
in  1853  he  bought  out  the  business  of  Dr.  James  Foster  and  estab- 
lished himself  here. 

For  over  forty  years  he  has  ministered  to  the  bodily  pains  of 
this  people.  Hundreds  have  made  their  debut  on  life's  stage  led 
by  his  professional  hand,  not  a  few  of  whom,  despite  his  interest 
and  skill,  passed  out  before  him.  In  his  long  practice  he  became 
familiar  not  only  with  the  physical  infirmities  of  individuals,  both 
hereditary  and  contracted,  but  with  their  peculiarities  of  tempera- 
ment, habits,  idiosyncrasies,  caprices  and,  in  numberless  instances, 
with  the  mental  and  social  distress  that  perplexed  and  harassed 
them.  He  had  their  confidence,  and  many  family  secrets  and  clos- 
eted skeletons,  disclosed  to  no  others,  became  a  part  of  his  burden 
and  were  carried  sacredly  and  inviolably  to  the  grave. 

He  was  a  man  of  generous  impulses  and  did  many  an  act  of 
charity  and  cancelled  many  a  debt,  earned  under  exposure  and 
exacting  conditions,  known  only  to  himself  and  the  recording 
angel."

Willard  A.  Dickerman  went  into  the  Union  army  in  1861  as 
Quartermaster  in  the  7th  Reg.  Ills.  Cavalry  and  came  home  sick  in 
the  early  summer  of  1862.  On  recovering  health,  he  was  trans- 
ferred to  the  103rd  Reg.  Ills.  Infantry,  of  which  he  was  Quarter- 
master till  the  resignation  of  Colonel  A.  C.  Babcock,  when  he  was 
unanimously  chosen  to  that  office. 

The  regiment  was  mustered  in  October  2,  1862,  and  left  Peoria 
for  the  South  the  latter  part  of  the  month,  under  his  command ;  it 
was  engaged  in  battle  at  the  siege  of  Vicksburg,  at  Black  River, 
and  at  Missionary  Ridge,  Knoxville,  Dalton  and  Resaca.  He  was 
a  brave  soldier,  commanding  well,  and  having  the  love  and  esteem 
of  all  his  men.  He  was  in  command  of  the  Brigade  at  Resaca, 
and,  had  he  lived,  would  undoubtedly  have  been  promoted  to 
General. 

An  article  published  in  the  Oswego,  N.  Y.,  Times  says  :  "  This 
notice  will  recall  one  of  the  most  gifted  women  our  city  has 
known.  Emma  Dickerman  was  the  daughter  of  Col.  Willard  A. 
Dickerman  of  the  103rd  Reg.  Ills.  Vols.,  who  was  killed  in  the 
famous  march  to  the  sea.  Her  early  years  were  spent  in  Illinois. 
She  was  graduated  from  the  Twelfth  St.  school  in  New  York  in 
'69,  and  from  the  Oswego  Normal  in  '71. 


64  THE  FAMILY  IN  ILLINOIS. 

After  her  marriage  to  Prof.  Straight  she  stood  shoulder  to  shoul- 
der with  him  in  his  educational  work  in  the  Normal  schools  of 
Peru,  Neb.,  Warrensburg,  Mo.,  Oswego,  N.  Y.,  and  Normal  Park, 
Ills,  After  his  death  she  carried  on  her  labors  in  Col.  Parker's 
school  till  she  went  to  Japan  to  teach  in  the  Tokio  Normal.  The 
damp  climate  proved  unfavorable,  developing  the  consumptive 
germs,  doubtless  contracted  from  her  husband.  After  two  years, 
physicians  advised  her  return.  The  danger  was  not  relieved  by 
the  mountain  air  of  California,  and  the  dry  climate  of  Arizona 
could  not  arrest  the  disease. 

Mrs.  Straight's  culture  was  deep  and  varied.  She  worked  in 
special  lines  under  the  best  masters,  Agassiz  at  Penikese  Island, 
Corson  at  Cornell,  Ralph  at  Boston  and  Martha's  Vineyard.  She 
was  imbued  with  the  scientific  method,  and  used  it  in  teaching 
rhetoric,  literature,  history,  drawing  and  biology.  Witty,  versa- 
tile and  brilliant,  the  truest,  most  devoted  of  friends,  there  was  no 
limit  to  her  self-sacrifice  ;  her  sympathy  reached  to  all  ;  she  aspired 
to  the  highest  ideals,  the  true  child  of  a  brave  soldier." 


CHAPTER    V. 


EBENEZER^   DICKERMAN    OF   STOUGHTON    AND 

EASTON. 

"  Under  a  spreading  chestnut  tree 

The  village  smithy  stands  ; 
The  smith,  a  mighty  man  is  he 

With  large  and  sinewy  hands  : — 

Week  in,  week  out,  from  morn  till  night, 

You  cai^hear  his  bellows  blow  ; 
You  can  hear  him  swing  his  heavy  sledge 

With  measured  beat  and  slow." 

— H.  W,  Longfellow. 

In  reviewing  the  development  of  our  country  and  noticing  the 
part  now  borne  by  manufacturing  industries,  one  may  ask  where 
these  industries  had  their  beginning.  As  concerns  textile  fabrics, 
we  are  reminded  of  the  spinning-wheel  and  hand-loom,  worked 
by  nimble  fingers  of  matron  and  maid,  by  the  fireside  in  their 
homes.  But  for  manufactures  in  iron  and  other  metals  we  must 
look  elsewhere.  And  in  so  doing  our  eye  falls  at  once  on  the 
blacksmith  shop. 

This  was  the  resort  in  early  times  for  numberless  necessary 
things  which  are  now  struck  out  and  finished  by  a  few  blows  and 
turns  of  a  machine.  The  conditions  were  not  unlike  those  of 
the  Hebrews  whom  the  Philistines  kept  in  servitude  by  not  allow- 
ing them  any  smiths  of  their  own,  so  that  they  had  to  go  to  their 
oppressors  "to  sharpen  every  man  his  share,  and  his  coulter 
and  his  axe  and  his  mattock,"  and  could  not  get  a  sword 
or  a  spear  at  any  price.  In  that  simple,  primitive  life,  the 
blacksmith  not  only  furnished  tools  for  the  farm  and  the  home, 
but  the  necessary  equipments  for  war — swords,  pikes,  guns.  All 
the  arts  gathered  about  his  anvil,  and  the  inventive  genius  of  the 
whole  community  paid  court  to  him  as  a  constructive  master. 
Not  even  a  nail  was  to  be  had  except  from  under  the  blows  of  his 
hammer. 


66  THE  FAMILY  IN   MASSACHUSETTS. 

This  made  a  skillful  smith  of  great  value,  and  sometimes  consid- 
erable persuasion  was  used  to  induce  such  an  one  to  establish 
himself  in  a  particular  place. 

Ebenezer"  Dickerman  followed  this  calling  in  Stoughton,  where 
he  lived  till  he  was  past  forty  years  of  age.  He  then  bought  land 
in  Easton  and  went  there  to  live.  Just  before  this  he  had  been  at 
military  service  in  the  French  and  Indian  war,  which  may  have 
had  something  to  do  with  his  change  of  abode.

bequeaths  estate  to  his  "  honored  mother,"  to  "  each  of  his  breth-

The  I  St  Lieutenant  of  this  company  was  David  Buck  of  Killingly. 
It  seems  likely  that  Jesseniah^  Dickerman  was  at  the  home  of  his 
aunt,  Elizabeth  Perrigo,  who  probably  lived  at  Killingly,  and  that 
he  enlisted  there.

my  right  arm  and  having  the  left  permanently  disabled  ;  was  pro- 
moted to  the  rank  of  Captain  for  gallantry  on  the  battle-field,  and 
was  granted  an  indefinite  leave  of  absence.  Before  I  had  learned 
to  write  with  my  maimed  left  hand  I  was  elected,  without  opposi- 
tion, to  the  office  of  County  Clerk.  For  six  years  I  was  disfran- 
chised by  the  United  States  military  government  of  Texas,  and 
engaged  in  the  newspaper  business,  in  which  I  did  well.  As  soon 
as  permitted  by  the  government  I  became  a  candidate  for  County 
Clerk  and  held  the  office  for  thirteen  consecutive  years,  sometimes 
without  opposition,  and  always  in  spite  of  it.  And  now,  at  the 
age  of  sixty-two  years,  in  good  health,  and  with  the  world  around 
me  full  of  friends,  and  not  an  enemy  on  the  broad  earth,  I  am 
ready  to  yield  up  my  stewardship  whenever  the  Good  Master 
calls."

2.  Lyman  Dickerman®  Foster,  b.  May  8,  1872. 

Lyman'  Dickerman  received  such  education  as  the  public 
schools  of  his  day  afforded,  and  such  as  an  unusually  inquiring 
mind  could  gather  from  various  sources.  In  1825,  he  married 
Vienna,  the  eldest  daughter  of  Leonard  Sproat  of  Middleboro, 
Mass.,  a  woman  whose  intellect  was  remarkably  keen  and  pene- 
trating. Their  home  early  became  an  institution  of  learning.  He 
devoted  himself  to  the  study  of  music,  and  was  intimately  asso- 
ciated with  Lowell  Mason.  He  assisted  Mr.  Mason  in  the  prepar- 
ation of  Carmina  Sacra,  and  taught  music,  sometime  during  the 
early  forties,  in  the  Public  Schools  of  Nantucket.  In  1847  he 
removed  with  his  family  to  Providence,  R.  I.,  and  was  there  in 
business  till  1849,  when  an  offer  to  go  to  California  separated  him 
temporarily  from  his  family.  He  was  one  of  the  founders  of  the 
First  Congregational  Church  of  San  Francisco,  was  an  influential 
and  active  member,  and  its  senior  deacon  till  the  day  of  his  death. 
It  was  at  his  suggestion,  and  mainly  through  his  influence  that  the 
Rev.  Andrew  L.  Stone,  D.D.,  was  called  from  Park  Street  church, 
Boston,  to  its  pastorate.  By  his  spotless  life,  by  his  unflinching 
integrity,  and  by  his  warm  and  loving  heart  which  went  out  to  the 
homeless  and  friendless  young  men  of  early  California  life,  he 
held  the  affectionate  esteem  and  admiration  of  a  large  and  intelli- 
gent circle.  He  and  his  wife  are  buried  together  in  Laurel  Hill 
cemetery,  near  San  Francisco,  and  the  grass  over  their  graves  will 
be  kept  perpetually  green. 

Lysander*  Dickerman  was  fitted  for  college  at  Phillips  Academy, 
Andover  ;  graduated  at  Brown  University,  1851  ;  Andover  Theo- 
logical Seminary,  1856  ;  ordained  pastor  of  the  Congregational 
church  at  Gloucester,  Mass.,  1858  ;  called  to  Weymouth,  Mass., 
1861,  and  remained  there  till  1867.  He  was  under  treatment  for 
nervous  prostration  in  New  Hampshire  till  1869,  when  he  spent  a 
year  in  Egypt ;  was  a  student  in  Berlin  University  1870-72  ;  then 
returning  to  America,  was  a  pastor  at  Quincy,  Ills.,  1873-74  ;  in 
California,  1 874-1 880,  since  which  time  he  has  been  a  lecturer  on 
Egyptology.  Of  his  lectures,  the  following  testimonial  was  given 
by  President  W.  F.  Warren  of  Boston  University,  at  the  close  of  a 
course  delivered  there,  and  was  indorsed  by  the  audience  with  a 
rising  vote. 


AT   NORTH   BRIDGEWATER.  79 

"The  public  lecture  course  just  concluded  has  been  one  of  the  most  sue-* 
cessful  ever  delivered  before  this  University, 

"  Whether  viewed  with  respect  to  variety  and  freshness  of  matter,  or  to  appro- 
priateness of  style,  or  to  beauty  of  illustration,  each  lecture  has  been  worthy  of 
high  praise. 

"  It  is  believed  that  wherever  intelligent  communities  are  seeking  to  become 
more  intelligent,  and  especially  wherever  students  are  eager  to  be  conducted  by 
the  most  effective  methods  into  an  understanding  of  the  venerable  primeval  civ- 
ilizations of  the  world,  there  such  aids  as  those  presented  by  Mr.  Dickerman 
will  find  hearty  and  deserved  appreciation." 

Miss  Amelia  B.  Edwards,  in  writing  for  "  The  Academy,"  Lon- 
don, January  16,  1886,  speaks  also  of  these  lectures  and  their 
author  : 

"An  earnest  and  devoted  student  of  Egyptologj',  he  is,  perhaps,  the  only 
transatlantic  man  of  letters  who  can  be  said  to  be  seriously  qualifying  himself 
for  a  position  among  the  Egyptologists  of  Europe." 

Mr.  Dickerman  is  the  author  of  a  number  of  valuable  publica- 
tions :  The  Egyptian  Deities :  A  review  of  Thayer's  Lexicon  of  the 
New  Testament  and  other  papers  in  the  Andover  Review  ;  The 
Hittites  of  the  Bible,  in  the  Journal  of  the  American  Geographical 
Society,  1889  ;  The  Faydm,  in  the  same,  1892  ;  Woman  in  Ancient 
Egypt,  the  same,  1895  ;  Mariette- Bey's  Monuments  of  Upper  Egypt, 
Boston,  1890  ;  The  names  of  Jacob  and  Joseph  in  Egypt,  Old  Testa- 
ment Student,  1888  ;  The  Etymology  and  Synonyms  of  the  Egyptian 
word  for  Pyramid,  in  the  Journal  of  the  American  Oriental 
Society,  besides  many  sermons  and  public  addresses. 

He  received  the  degree  of  D.D.  from  Brown  University,  1893, 
and  is  a  member  of  The  American  Oriental  Society,  Society  of 
Biblical  Literature  and  Exegesis,  Society  of  Biblical  Archaeology, 
London,     res.,  1896,  The  Washington  View,  New  York  City. 

By  the  death  of  Dr.  F.  F.  Forsyth  in  1894,  and  of  his  son  in 
1895,  the  city  of  Providence  lost  two  physicians  who  were  hon- 
ored and  beloved.  Of  the  former  it  is  said,  "  That  he  was  deeply 
interested  in  religious  and  educational  affairs.  For  a  time  he 
taught  in  the  Alstead  High  School  and  Francestown  Academy,  in 
New  Hampshire  ;  then  edited  the  Manchester  Messenger  and  pub- 
lished the  first  Directory  of  Manchester.  After  studying  medi- 
cine at  Pittsfield,  Mass.,  and  Woodstock,  Vt.,  he  practiced  at 
Hampton,  N.  H.,  then  at  South  Abington,  Mass.,  and  afterward  at 
Weymouth.     He  was  on  the  School  Boards  of  South  Abington 


80  THE   FAMILY   IN   MASSACHUSETTS. 

and  Weymouth,  Superintendent  of  the  Sunday  School  connected 
with  the  Union  Congregational  Church  of  Weymouth  and  Brain- 
tree,  Deacon  of  the  Old  North  Church  and  a  Director  of  the  Wey- 
mouth and  Braintree  Institution  for  Savings.  He  was  instru- 
mental in  organizing  the  Union  Medical  and  Surgical  Club,  being 
its  first  President,  and  when  this  club  was  incorporated  as  a 
branch  of  the  Massachusetts  Medical  Society,  he  was  again  elected 
President.  For  a  long  period  he  was  one  of  the  Councilors  of  the 
Massachusetts  Medical  Society.  An  honest,  conscientious  physi- 
cian, many  families  have  sadly  missed  his  good  judgment  and 
care." 

"His  son  was  a  member  of  the  Massachusetts  and  Rhode  Island 
Medical  Societies  and  of  the  American  Medical  Association.  His 
medical  education  was  at  the  Harvard  Medical  College  where  he 
received  the  degree  of  M.D,,  and  afterward  continued  his  studies 
in  a  post-graduate  course.  After  spending  a  few  months  at  Wey- 
mouth, he  removed  to  Providence,  where  he  was  engaged  in  a 
large  and  successful  practice.  He  was  widely  known  in  the  city 
and  was  a  member  of  many  social  organizations."

Mrs.  Field  writes,  "  Daniel  Tuel  Dickerman  was  an  only  child. 
His  mother  died  when  he  was  five  days  old,  and  his  father  when  he 
was  at  the  age  of  ten.  His  uncle  Manasseh  took  him  into  his 
family,  and  he  lived  in  that  house  till  he  was  married.  This  is 
what  has  always  been  told  me  concerning  my  father.  It  is  a  long 
time  since  I  saw  any  of  the  family  of  Manasseh,  not  since  I  was 
nine  years  of  age.  I  am  now  in  my  eighty-fifth  year,  having  lived 
in  Quincy  seventy-one  years  and  with  my  husband  sixty-three 
years.  He  carried  on  the  granite  business  forty-eight  years  with 
good  success  and  passed  to  the  higher  life  in  1891,  ae.  84,  honored 
and  beloved.  Father  belonged  to  the  Easton  Light  Infantry  and 
was'drafted  at  the  time  of  the  war  of  1812.  He  was  stationed  at 
Plymouth.  When  peace  was  declared  he  returned  home,  and  soon 
after  bought  an  estate  in  Bridgewater,  now  called  Brockton,  where 
he  passed  the  rest  of  his  life." 

"  William  Field  was  early  inured  to  labor,  his  parents  being 
poor.  His  father  died  when  he  was  twelve  years  old,  and  not  long 
after  this,  in  182 1,  he  began  to  work  in  the  granite  quarries,  which 
were  then  beginning  to  attract  attention  ;  and  from  that  time  until 
his  death  was  identified  with  every  step  in  the  development  of  this 
great  industry.  For  over  seventy  years  he  was  connected  with 
the  ledges,  the  men,  the  machinery,  the  labors  and  successes  of  the 
enterprise,  till  he  had  seen  the  associates  of  his  early  toil  fall  one 
by  one,  and  he  was  left  hale  and  vigorous,  the  oldest  granite  man 
in  Quincy,  and  the  last  of  the  pioneer  quarrymen. 

He  learned  stone  cutting,  which  he  followed  for  eight  years, 
working  during  the  time  on  stone  for  Bunker  Hill  monument, 
the  New  York  Exchange  and  other  buildings  of  note. 

In  1839,  he  with  others  formed  the  Franklin  Granite  Campany. 
Eighteen  months  later  he  entered  into  partnership  with  the  late

of  building  in  Boston  for  fifteen  or  twenty  years,  and  afterward 
made  a  specialty  of  monumental  work. 

From  small  beginnings  and  work  done  by  hand  the  business 
has  grown  to  about  $100,000  per  annum,  using  labor-saving 
machinery,  run  by  expensive  engines  for  hoisting,  polishing,  cut- 
ting and  drilling.  They  have  furnished  material  for  public  build- 
ings and  monuments  in  all  parts  of  the  United  States  from  New

CHAPTER   VI. 


SAMUEL'  DICKERMAN   OF  STOUGHTON. 

"  But  when  a  Race,  tending  by  vale  and  hill 
Free  flocks,  contented  with  its  rude  domain — 

Bursts  the  hard  bondage  with  its  own  great  will. 
Lets  fall  the  sword  when  once  it  rends  the  chain 

And,  flushed  with  Victory,  can  be  human  still — 

There  blest  the  strife." 

— "  William  Tell"  Schiller. 

The  experiences  of  the  colonial  period  were  a  training  for 
national  life.  A  century  and  a  half  of  struggle  with  wild  forces 
in  a  new  country  culminated  in  the  war  of  independence  and  the 
birth  of  the  republic. 

What  made  this  uprising  more  than  a  short-lived  rebellion  was 
the  solid  virtue  of  the  common  people.  Habits  of  toil  and  fru- 
gality had  disciplined  them  to  endurance.  Long  and  unremitting 
defence  of  their  homes  from  the  cunning  and  ferocity  of  savages 
had  made  them  so  familiar  with  danger  that  its  terrors  were  gone. 
The  simplicity  and  freedom  of  their  ways  at  home  and  among 
their  neighbors  had  intensified  the  traditional  feeling  against 
tyranny  till  the  thought  of  it  was  unbearable. 

The  people  of  the  colonies  had  become  the  people  of  America. 
They  had  grown  and  strengthened  and  drawn  together  in  the 
unity  of  common  interests,  from  the  rocky  coasts  of  Maine  to  the 
palmetto-clad  shores  of  Georgia. 

This  family  had  its  full  share  in  the  movement.  In  the  French 
and  Indian  war,  Thomas',  Ebenezer*  and  Samuel'  were  in  the  ranks. 
But  now,  twenty  years  later,  with  a  new  generation  to  draw  from, 
at  least  eleven,  perhaps  a  twelfth,  caught  the  spirit  of  the  hour 
and  became  soldiers  of  the  revolution. 

Of  John"s  sons,  only  the  name  of  Peter'  is  found  on  the  muster 
rolls.  But  Ebenezer"s,  with  one  exception,  are  all  there,  and  this 
one  was  too  young  for  service,  if  indeed  he  had  not  died  before. 
Three  sons  of  Samuel'  are  enrolled  in  like  manner,  and  tradition 


AT  STOUGHTON.  9I 

says  that  the  eldest,  who  then  lived  in  New  Hampshire,  was  with 
Prescott  and  Warren  at  Bunker  Hill, 

Their  service  seems  to  have  been  that  of  "  minute  men  "  rather 
than  for  long  periods  or  distant  campaigning.  In  most  cases  they 
were  called  out  on  a  sudden  emergency  and  returned  after  a  few 
days  to  their  homes. 

Those  times  were  full  of  feverish  excitement,  with  mingled 
apprehensions  and  hopes.  It  was  another  thing  to  be  in  arms 
against  the  mother  country,  from  fighting  Indians  or  carrying  on 
a  border  strife  with  the  French.  This  was  a  struggle  with  their 
own  kindred  and  a  breaking  away  from  immemorial  ties.  It  was 
the  entrance  upon  new  political  conditions,  as  untried  as  were  the 
forests  to  the  first  settlers.  The  same  qualities  were  required  as 
then,  and  the  same  were  found. 

In  the  return  of  peace,  too,  there  was  no  return  to  old  condi- 
tions. The  new  government  was  an  experiment  in  popular  rule. 
There  was  no  telling  how  long  it  would  last  or  whether  it  might 
not  drift  into  disorder.  And  so,  as  before,  the  stability  of  society 
depended  on  the  character  of  the  people.  The  fact  that  there  was 
stability  shows  that  the  people  were  equal  to  their  trust. 

Samuel*  Dickerman,  the  father,  lived  at  Stoughton  and  brought 
up  his  family  there.  His  oldest  son,  whose  name  was  also  Sam- 
uel*, married  at  the  age  of  twenty-one,  and  soon  after  went  to  live 
at  Francestown,  N.  H.  It  was  not  far  from  the  same  time  that  his 
cousin  Lemuel"  went  to  Brattleboro  ;  and  as  he  became  identified 
with  that  place,  so  Samuel'  and  his  family  were  henceforth  identi- 
fied with  Francestown. 

Lemuel'  Dickerman,  the  second  son,  lived  in  Roxbury.  He 
had  but  one  son,  who  died  unmarried.  A  large  family  of 
daughters,  however,  remained  and  have  many  descendants. 

Enoch'  Dickerman,  the  fourth  son,  went  to  New  Hampshire 
about  ten  years  after  his  older  brother,  and  engaged  in  manufac- 
turing at  Pembroke. 

Ezra'  Dickerman,  the  youngest,  remained  at  Stoughton,  which, 
in  that  particular  part,  was  now  called  Canton. 

The  other  brother,  Elijah',  has  left  few  traces  by  which  we 
can  learn  of  his  course  after  the  war.  The  same  is  true  of  his 
cousins,  Jaazaniah'  and  Comfort.'

*  Several  of  the  grandchildren  of  Persis  Richardson  Dickerman  have  told  the  writer  that  she 
was  a  woman  of  great  strength  ;  that  she  was  accustomed  in  the  winter  to  assist  her  husband  even- 
ings in  the  shop,  striking  for  him  while  forging  horse  shoes.  That  she  could  easily  throw  a  barrel 
of  cider  into  a  cart  or  pick  it  up  and  drink  from  the  bunghole.  That  she  had^f^  fingers  on  each 
hand  and  six  toes  on  each  foot.  This  peculiarity  has  been  transmitted  to  several  who  are  now  liv- 
ing. There  has  also  been  a  tradition  in  the  family  of  John  and  Sally  Dakin  Dickerman  which, 
until  proved  erroneous  by  the  writer,  was  regarded  as  historical.  That  during  the  Revolutionary 
war  three  brothers,  who  were  impressed  into  the  British  army,  deserted  at  Charleston,  S.  C,  on  a 
dark  night,  in  a  terrific  thunder  storm,  crawling  on  their  hands  and  knees  through  a  swamp  and 
dense  thicket  into  the  camp  of  Washington,  who  sent  them  north,  one  settling  in  New  Hampshire, 
one  in  Massachusetts  and  one  in  Connecticut,  and  from  them  all  the  American  Dickermans 
descended.— E.  D.  D.

On  March  13,  1891,  Mr.  Daniel  Tarbell  sent  a  neatly  printed 
"  anniversary  speech  "  to  many  of  his  friends  from  which  are 
made  the  following  extracts:  "March  13,  181 1,  was  my  Natal 
Day.  Four  score  years  have  run  their  race  with  the  countless 
ages  that  have  gone  before  them.  The  incidents  of  childhood, 
youth  and  old  age — these  four  score  years  are  all  there  are  for  me 
to  gather  up  and  leave  as  fresh  mementoes  for  you,  my  children, 
and  those  who  come  after  you.  I  have  much  to  be  thankful  for, 
the  sweet  recollections  of  youth,  and,  sweeter  still,  the  assurance 
of  that  life  beyond  the  grave.  I  cannot  here  recount  the  evidences 
of  the  continuation  of  this  life,  as  they  are  too  numerous."  "  By 
the  divine  law  virtue  is  her  own  rewarder  and  vice  her  own  pun- 
isher.  We  cannot  afford  to  do  wrong.  Happiness  is  the  only 
fruit  of  well  doing,  and  misery  the  only  fruit  of  evil  doing. 
These  rewards  and  punishments  teach  us  to  grow  better  and  to 
have  more  charity  for  our  fellowmen.  Christianity  is  not  a  faith 
but  a  life,  and  all  those  that  believe  that  Jesus  will  cancel  their 
evil  deeds  without  suffering  are  mistaken,  and  the  quicker  we  dis- 
abuse them  of  this  error  the  better  for  them  and  the  world."

Enoch*  Dickerman  enlisted  April  19,  1775,  from  Stoughton, 
Capt.  Asahel  Smith's  Co.,  served  4  months  28  days  ;  again,  March 
4,  1776,  under  the  same  Captain  and  served  3  days  at  Dorchester 
Heights  ;  again,  March  22,  1776,  Capt.  Theophilus  Lyon's  Co., 
"  marched  from  Stoughton  to  Braintree  in  defence  of  their 
country  ;"  again,  July  13,  1776,  served  3  days,  "marched  to  Moon 
Island,  28  miles,  when  the  ministerial  fleet  was  driven  out  of  Bos- 
ton ;"  again,  Aug.  14,  1777,  Capt.  John  Bradley's  Co.,  "marched 
to  Northern  Dept.",  served  3  months  28  days.  "  Enoch  and  Eliz- 
abeth Dickerman  were  received  to  3d  Parish  Church  of  Roxbury, 
May  29,  1774."  This  Elizabeth  was  doubtless  his  sister.  In  1802 
he  bought  a  share  of  Morrell's  mills  at  Pembroke,  Rockingham 
Co.,  N.  H.,  and  built  a  clothing  mill  there.  In  1809  he  deeded 
this  property  to  Samuel  Tolman  of  Stoughton,  Mass.,  who  after- 
ward deeded  it  to  Enoch's  son,  Moses'  Dickerman.  Feb.  24,  1814, 
Sarah,  wife  of  Enoch'  Dickerman  of  Pembroke,  N.  H.,  "clothier 
and  seamstress,"  deeded  in  quit  claim  to  Thomas  Tolman  of 
Stoughton,  "  all  our  right  of  land  dower  to  Elizabeth  Wales,  the 
said  Sarah's  mother,  and  of  estate  of  Moses  Wales,  deceased,  Feb. 
24,  1814."  It  would  seem  from  the  records  that  her  burial  was  at 
Canton. 

Mr.  T.  L.  Fowler  of  East  Pembroke  communicates  the  follow- 
ing information  April  12,  1891 :  "  By  the  records  for  Rockingham 
County  I  learn  that  in  Aug.  1802,  Nathaniel  Morrill,  John  Morrill 
and  Hezekiah  Young  deeded  to  Enoch  Dickerman  of  Canton, 
Mass.,  one-quarter  of  a  saw  mill,  a  grist  mill,  a  privilege  for  a 
fulling  mill  by  said  grist  mill,  a  dwelling  house  and  barn,  with 
about  fifty  acres  of  land,  all  in  Pembroke,  N.  H.  I  think  there 
must  have  been  a  fulling  mill  there  at  the  time,  as  Young  was,  I 
think,  a  clothier.  These  mills  had  been  built  about  nine  years  and 
were  in  the  extreme  northerly  part  of  Pembroke,  with  no  road 
leading  directly  from  Pembroke  village  to  them.  March  9,  1809, 
Enoch  Dickerman  deeded  the  same  property  to  Samuel  Tolman  of 
Stoughton,  Mass.     Feb.  28,  1810,  Tolman  deeded  one-half  of  the

same  to  Moses  Dickerman.  I  cannot  say  how  long  Moses  con- 
tinued to  own  the  property,  but  in  1823  Tolman  mortgaged  the 
whole  to  John  Stunyan  of  Pembroke.  I  was  born  Dec.  1816,  and 
have  heard  that  the  Dickermans  left  there  a  little  after  my  birth, 
within  a  year  or  two.  I  have  a  recollection  that  when  attending 
Pembroke  Academy,  about  1833,  there  was  a  young  man  of  this 
name  in  the  school." 

Enoch^  Dickerman,  the  son,  is  referred  to  in  Bouton's  history  of 
Concord,  N.  H,,  p.  590,  as  a  somewhat  eccentric  character.

CHAPTER  VII. 


EARLY  DAYS  IN  NEW  HAVEN. 

"A  commonwealth  ought  to  be  but  as  one  huge  Christian  personage,  one 
mighty  growth  and  stature  of  an  honest  man,  as  big  and  compact  in  virtue  as  in 
body." — John  Milton. 

Twenty  years  had  passed  since  the  planting  of  the  New  Haven 
colony,  when  Abraham  Dickerman  went  thither  to  make  it  his 
home.  It  was  not  like  going  among  strangers.  The  relations 
between  the  people  of  New  Haven  and  those  of  Massachusetts 
Bay  were  most  intimate. 

Davenport  and  Eaton,  with  their  company  of  two  hundred  and 
fifty,  arrived  at  Boston  on  the  26th  of  June,  1637,  not  more  than  a 
year  or  two  later,  probably,  than  the  ship  which  brought  Thomas 
Dickerman.  This  was  a  notable  accession  to  the  strength  of  the 
colonists,  both  from  the  high  character  of  the  leaders  and  from 
the  wealth  and  enterprise  represented.  Great  efforts  were  made 
to  have  them  remain  permanently  at  Boston.  But  they  had  come 
for  business  as  well  as  for  convictions.  They  purposed  to  start 
an  independent  settlement  and  to  found  a  commercial  city. 

There  was  no  need  of  haste,  however.  It  was  wise  to  gain  a 
better  understanding  of  the  ground  they  were  to  occupy  before 
going  farther.  So  they  sent  on  seven  of  their  number  to  spend 
the  winter  and  thoroughly  examine  the  situation,  while  they  tar- 
ried for  the  report.  The  best  part  of  a  year  was  passed  in  this 
way  and  it  was  the  30th  of  March,  1638,  when  they  again  embarked 
to  complete  their  voyage. 

These  were  fruitful  months.  Think  of  how  much  it  meant  for 
these  new  comers  to  be  associated,  during  all  this  time,  with  the 
tried  veterans  who  had  preceded  them  in  the  work  of  building 
settlements.  What  cheer  it  brought  to  the  Massachusetts  pioneers 
to  greet  in  their  homes  these  fresh  arrivals  from  the  dear  old 
country  !  And  how  intensely  interesting  to  the  sojourners  was 
this  life  of  the  colony,  with  its  illustrations  of  what  they  them- 
selves were  to  encounter,  the  problems  they  would  have  to  meet 
and  solve  in  the  new  community  they  were  about  to  establish  ! 


136  EARLY  DAYS  IN  NEW  HAVEN. 

The  settlement  was  small  as  yet,  numbering  no  more  than  a 
New  England  village  of  the  present  day,  and  providing  for  all 
these  men,  women  and  children  must  have  given  some  share  to 
every  house.  This  speedily  brought  about  a  close  familiarity. 
Children  were  playing  together  ;  youths  and  maidens  were  chat- 
ting merrily  over  their  work,  and  the  older  people  talked  of  busi- 
ness concerns,  discussed  the  political  aspect  of  things  in  England^ 
or  gravely  argued  on  questions  of  theology. 

Those  who  have  lived  for  any  time  in  a  frontier  settlement  of 
the  present  day  know  how  free  and  spontaneous  is  the  social  life 
to  be  found  there.  We  may  suppose  that  it  was  not  altogether 
different  in  this  case.  That  sojourn  in  Boston  of  these  settlers  on 
their  way  to  New  Haven  made  them  participants  in  all  that  was 
going  on.  For  the  time  they  were  a  part  of  that  community, 
entering  into  its  interests,  forming  acquaintances  and  cultivating 
friendships  to  continue  through  life. 

After  this,  the  people  of  New  Haven  could  not  but  cherish 
warm  feelings  toward  those  of  Massachusetts  Bay.  And  every- 
thing worked  to  perpetuate  these  feelings.  That  was  the  central 
point  for  all  the  Puritan  colonies,  the  port  of  entry  for  shipping, 
the  trading  post,  the  metropolis,  so  far  as  there  was  any,  on  this 
side  of  the  Atlantic.  Intercourse  was  constant  between  the  two 
places,  and  the  settlers  on  the  Sound  were  frequent  visitors  in  the 
homes  and  among  the  people  who  had  become  so  dear  to  them. 

It  is  not  strange,  therefore,  that  the  daughter  of  a  New  Haven 
citizen  should  have  been  in  Dorchester  in  the  year  1658.  Nor  is  it 
more  surprising  that  a  young  man  of  that  place  should  have 
formed  an  attachment  for  her  and  asked  her  to  become  his  wife. 
This,  in  brief,  is  the  story  of  the  marriage  of  Abraham  Dicker- 
man  and  Mary  Cooper. 

Here  is  the  explanation,  too,  of  the  removal  to  New  Haven. 
They  could  start  out  in  life  there  under  especially  favorable  con- 
ditions, as  her  father  was  a  man  of  growing  prominence,  and  this 
seemed  better  than  to  make  a  home  in  Dorchester.  So  Abraham 
Dickerman  became  identified  with  the  people  among  whom  his 
wife  had  been  reared,  entering  not  only  her  family  but  the  com- 
munity. As  time  passed  on  children  came  to  them  and  grew  up 
there.  These  children  married  those  of  the  neighbors.  The 
grandchildren  did  the  same  till  all  the  families  of  that  time  were 
intermingled,  and  the  descendants  of  one  were  descendants  of 
many.     A  glance  at  the  Charts  will  make  this  clear. 


THE   FOUNDERS.  1 37 

The  true  child  of  a  historic  town  must  have  the  sentiment  of 
filial  reverence,  not  only  toward  the  one  ancestor  whose  name  he 
bears,  but  toward  those  others,  also,  whose  blood  flows  in  his 
veins  and  whose  traits  are  interwoven  in  his  personality.  It  is 
fitting  that  we  linger  a  little  over  these  early  people  of  New 
Haven. 

They  began  their  colony  in  1638  by  founding  a  church,  thinking 
to  build  a  state  with  no  voters  but  church  members  and  with  the 
Bible  for  their  law  book.  Having  broken  away  from  a  bad  gov- 
ernment, they  wanted  to  form  a  good  one,  and  this  seemed  to 
them  the  most  likely  way. 

For  leaders  they  had  able,  educated  and  wealthy  men.  These 
had  followed  lucrative  pursuits  and  lived  in  comfort  heretofore. 
They  expected  to  do  the  same  here  and  laid  their  plans  for  busi- 
ness success. 

Events  looked  promising.  The  movement  of  colonists  from 
England  to  America  was  in  full  flow,  with  prospects  of  increase. 
The  tyrannies  of  the  crown  were  unbearable  ;  most  of  the  Puri- 
tans had  lost  hope  of  juster  treatment,  and  Cromwell  had  not  yet 
arisen.  What  was  more  probable  than  the  speedy  growth  of  a 
commonwealth  on  this  side  of  the  sea  ? 

The  settlement  was  laid  out  with  this  in  mind.  It  was  soon  to 
be  a  thriving  seaport.  A  number  of  the  settlers  built  large  and 
costly  houses,  "  outdoing  the  rest  of  the  country,"  as  the  historian 
says.  The  house  of  Theophilus  Eaton  was  so  large  as  to  contain 
nineteen  fire-places,  and  those  of  Davenport,  Gregson  and  Aller- 
ton  were  on  a  similar  scale.  The  style  of  living,  too,  in  the 
wealthier  families,  was  of  a  kind  not  often  seen  among  pioneers. 
It  was  bringing  London  into  a  wilderness. 

But  the  promise  failed  of  fulfillment.  The  Long  parliament 
assembled,  Cromwell  led  his  "  Ironsides  "  to  victory,  Charles  was 
beheaded.  The  immigration  to  America  ceased,  and  the  settlers 
began  to  go  back  to  England.  New  Haven  could  not  grow. 
Investments  there  did  not  bring  returns.  Those  who  had  been 
rich  saw  their  wealth  fast  leaving  them. 

Many  were  the  disappointments  of  those  first  twenty  years. 
Besides  the  lack  of  success  in  businesss  other  things  went  ill. 
Their  near  neighbors,  the  Dutch  at  Manhattan,  were  not  friendly. 
An  attempt  to  start  a  settlement  at  Delaware  was  defeated  by 
Swedes.     Having  built  a  large  ship  at  great  cost  and  laden  it  with 


138  EARLY   DAYS   IN   NEW   HAVEN. 

a  choice  cargo,  they  saw  it  sail  out  of  the  harbor  with  a  number  of 
their  best  people  and  never  heard  of  it  again.  Malaria  prevailed 
and  was  as  depressing  to  the  spirits  as  it  is  to-day.  The  darker 
traits  of  human  nature  came  out  now  and  then,  for  with  all  their 
devotion  to  a  religious  conviction,  they  were  far  from  perfect. 
Crimes  were  committed  and  punished.  Members  of  the  church 
misbehaved  and  were  put  under  discipline.  This  happened  to 
their  earliest  clerk,  and  also  to  the  earliest  schoolmaster,  and  so 
great  was  their  chagrin  that  they  left  the  colony.  The  wife  of  the 
governor  fell  under  the  same  cloud  and  passed  many  years  in 
excommunication.  And  finally,  to  crown  the  whole,  their  pecu- 
liar system  of  government  and  their  independence  as  a  colony 
were  overthrown  at  one  blow  by  the  act  which  consolidated  the 
two  colonies  of  New  Haven  and  Connecticut  into  one. 

Probably  the  men  who  thought  out  this  enterprise  and  did 
their  best  to  work  it  out,  all  died  with  the  feeling  that  their 
project  had  failed.  They  had  built  up  in  their  minds  an  ideal 
commonwealth  and  hoped  to  make  it  actual  in  their  own  day. 
But  their  planting  was  for  a  longer  growth  and  a  more  distant 
harvest. 

The  list  of  planters  made  in  1641  contains  121  names,  and  there 
were  30  householders  besides.  But  of  these  151  proprietors  quite 
a  number  never  became  residents,  many  removed  early  to  Milford 
and  other  settlements,  while  several  returned  within  a  few  years 
to  England.  Hardly  half  became  permanent  and  left  families  to 
be  an  element  of  the  community  afterwards. 

Those  of  commanding  influence  at  the  beginning  were  most  of 
them  gone  in  twenty  years.  Thomas  Gregson,  George  Lam- 
berton,  Francis  Brewster  and  Capt.  Nathaniel  Turner  were  lost  in 
the  ship  that  never  returned.  Elder  Robert  Newman  is  not  men- 
tioned after  1649.  Governor  Eaton  died  in  1657,  and  the  deputy 
governor,  Stephen  Goodyear,  who  was  absent  in  England,  fol- 
lowed him  soon  after.  The  pastor,  John  Davenport,  bereft  of  his 
early  co-laborers,  remained  to  bear,  without  their  sympathy,  the 
bitterness  of  that  great  disappointment  in  the  union  with  Con- 
necticut, and  then  in  1668  removed  with  his  family  to  Boston.  Of 
the  eleven  whose  names  are  recorded  as  chosen  founders,  only 
Matthew  Gilbert,  William  Andrews  and  John  Punderson  were 
then  left.  And  these  three  with  Governor  Eaton  were  probably 
the  only  ones  to  be  buried  here. 

New  men  now  came  to  the  front  to  guide  the  affairs  of  the  com-

munity,  and  they  were  men  of  a  different  kind  ;  not  so  great,  but 
more  practical  in  dealing  with  everyday  concerns.  The  founders 
were  scholars,  thinkers,  masters  of  the  deeper  things  in  the  life  of 
men  and  of  society.  They  had  many  traits  of  the  seer.  They  saw 
visions — saw  a  kingdom  to  be  established  of  so  high  an  order  that 
the  age  was  not  ready  for  it.  This  made  them  visionary.  Those 
who  followed  were  more  common  men,  and  for  that  reason  better 
fitted  for  what  now  had  to  be  done. 

Of  this  class  was  John  Cooper.*  He  had  been  with  the  colony 
from  the  first — planter,  freeman  and  signer  of  the  "  fundamental 
agreement."  At  that  time  he  was  a  young  married  man,  with 
one  child,  to  whom  others  were  soon  added.  His  means  were 
small,  the  amount  of  his  tax  being  6  shillings  7  pence.  His  edu- 
cation was  meager  ;  he  signed  his  name  with  a  mark  and  all  his 
books  were  inventoried  after  his  death  at  18  shillings.  He  was 
not  in  a  position  to  become  engrossed  with  the  profound  concep- 
tions of  Eaton  and  Davenport.  His  view  of  things  was  at  close 
range.  It  was  the  practical  question  of  making  a  home  and  get- 
ting bread  for  his  family.  And  when  it  came  to  public  interests 
his  eye  was  caught  by  the  things  that  were  going  at  loose  ends 
about  town  and  that  needed  to  be  brought  up  and  put  in  order ; 
what  was  wanted  then  and  there  to  make  New  Haven  a  better 
place  to  live  in,  and  to  advance  the  welfare  of  its  people. 

Such  a  man  was  of  course  in  the  background  during  the  specu- 
lative period.  But  he  was  to  live  till  this  period  had  passed, 
growing  deeply  and  strongly  into  the  practical  everyday  life  of 
the  place  and  making  himself  master  of  its  affairs.  He  was  to  be 
here  fifty  years,  and  during  that  time  perform  valuable  services 
for  the  community  which  was  then  acquiring  the  character  it  has 
held  until  now. 

In  the  New  Haven  records  for  these  fifty  years  there  are  few 
names  occurring  so  often  as  his,  or  in  a  way  to  show  more  con- 
stant engagement  with  public  duties.  In  the  earlier  years  these 
duties  were  often  of  that  thankless  sort  whose  necessity  every  one 
sees  but  few  are  willing  to  undertake  ;  later  he  was  in  positions 
of  dignity  and  honor. 

*  This  name  is  spelled  variously  in  the  New  Haven  records.  Often  it  is  Cowper.  There  was 
another  John  Cooper  among  the  early  settlers  of  Lynn,  Mass.,  who  came  from  Olney,  England, 
the  home  of  the  poet  William  Cowper.  In  English  records  the  John  Cooper  of  Lynn  has  been 
found  associated  with  certain  New  Haven  colonists,  which  suggests  a  possible  near  relationship  to 
this  person  of  the  same  name.  In  a  list  of  emigrants  in  the  Expedition  of  London,  Nov.  20,  1635, 
occurs,  "Jo:  Coop  [Cooper]  of  21  yeeres,"  with  "Jo:  Davenport,  30  yeeres." 


140  EARLY   DAYS   IN   NEW    HAVEN. 

Nov.  i6,  164J,  it  is  ordered, 

"  That  every  chimney  in  town  in  which  fire  is  kept  be  swept  once  every 
month  from  September  till  March,  and  once  ever)'  two  months  in  summer, 
which  work  Goodman  Cooper  has  undertaken  to  do,  and  is  to  have  4  pence 
apeice  for  every  chimney  that  is  two  stories  high  and  upward  and  2  pence 
apeice  for  all  that  are  under  two  stories  to  be  duly  paid  by  all  them  that  agree 
with  him  ;  but  if  any  will  do  it  themselves  and  Goodman  Cooper  come  after  the 
limited  time  and  find  them  not  done  or  not  well  done,  he  is  to  do  it  well  and  to 
have  double  pay  of  them  whose  neglect  it  is,  and  if  he  neglect  to  do  it  he  is  to 
pay  double  pay  for  his  neglect." 

He  continued  to  do  this  work  as  late  as  1649,  when  other  public 
duties  fully  occupied  his  time. 

Oct.  22, 164^5,  ^6  ^^^  Joseph  Nash  were  admitted  members  of  the 
court.  In  the  following  March  he  was  appointed  with  Christo- 
pher Todd  a  "viewer  of  fences  for  Mr.  Newman  and  Mr.  Brown- 
ing's quarter ;"  fourteen  others  being  designated  for  the  same 
office  in  other  quarters.*     April  i,  1646,  it  was  ordered, 

"That  bro  :  Cooper  drive  the  necke  the  17th  of  this  instant  April,  and  after- 
wards whose  cattle  soever  be  found  there,  they  being  pounded,  shall  pay  by  the 
owner  6d.  a  head." 

Again  in  October  "  he  and  bro :  Mansfield  were  chosen  sur- 
veyors." The  next  year,  March  2j,  1647,  he  was  appointed  on  a 
committee  to  equalize  taxes,  also  on  a  committee  to  "confer  with 
bro  :  Andrews  about  keeping  an  ordinarie,"  i.  e.  a  public  house. 
Then,  October  1648,  the  question  was  raised  of  having  a  public 
pound  with  a  pound-keeper  in  constant  service.  A  committee 
reported  through  the  Governor, 

"That  the  man  most  fit  for  this  trust  and  employment,  the  court  conceived, 
was  John  Cooper." 

In  due  time  he  was  appointed,  and  took  oath  Not).  20,  164S, 

"To  be  faithful  to  the  trust  committed  to  him  in  viewing  fences  and  pound- 
ing cattle,  according  to  the  court's  order,  without  partiality  or  respect  of 
persons," 

*  The  practice  of  choosing  two  fence  viewers  for  each  ^'Quarter"  was  continued  till  1738,  after 
which  a  number  of  "  fence  viewers  for  the  town  "  were  chosen.  The  names  of  the  "  Quarters  " 
were  changed  in  some  cases  when  the  land  holders  after  whom  they  were  called  had  passed  away. 
So  the  "  Newman  and  Browning  Quarter"  on  the  north  side  of  the  town,  came  to  be  known  as 
"Cooler  s  Quarter"  and  this  name  was  retained  as  late  as  1738.  In  1684  the  divisions  were  "  York- 
shire Quarter"  westward  of  the  public  square,  "  Cooper's  Quarter"  on  the  north.  "  Governor's 
Quarter"  on  the  east,  and  "  The  Suburbs,"  on  the  southwest. 


THE   PRACTICAL   MAN.  I4I 

Not  much  is  said  of  the  other  "  fence  viewers  "  who  began  with 
him.  He  seems  to  have  done  his  work  with  so  great  thorough- 
ness that  he  soon  had  on  his  hands  the  duties  of  all  the  rest,  and 
people  came  to  look  to  him  as  the  only  one  for  this  kind  of  ser- 
vice. And  it  was  a  service  of  no  little  importance  in  a  new  town, 
where  horses,  cattle  and  swine  were  roaming  at  large.  The  peace 
and  comfort  of  every  house  were  concerned.  Delicate  and  difficult 
questions  were  sure  to  rise  between  one  neighbor  and  another, 
requiring  sound  sense  and  a  large  share  of  good  humor  for  their 
adjustment.  To  succeed  in  such  a  position  was  no  slight  achieve- 
ment. 

In  1654  a  militia  company  of  133  men  was  called  for  in  view  of 
threatened  hostilities  with  the  Dutch.  In  this  company  he  was 
appointed  a  Corporal.  The  same  year  he  and  Thomas  Munson 
presented  a  petition  to  the  General  Court  in  behalf  of  fifty  or 
sixty  persons  who  proposed  to  remove  to  Delaware  Bay.  In  con- 
nection with  this  project  he  was  sent  as  a  special  messenger  to 
Boston  to  solicit  cooperation  from  the  settlers  there,  an  errand 
which  had  little  success. 

About  1655,  John  Winthrop  and  Stephen  Goodyear  united  in 
establishing  iron  works  at  the  outlet  of  Lake  Saltonstall,  where 
they  set  up  "  a  bloomery  and  forge."  John  Cooper  was  in  care  of 
these  works  and  was  connected  with  them  as  agent  while  they  lasted, 
till  1679  or  80.  An  interesting  account  of  this  enterprise  is  to  be 
found  in  Dodd's  East  Haven  Register,  p.  23.  In  1657  the  works  were 
leased  to  Capt.  Thomas  Clarke  and  Mr.  Payne  of  Boston.  Doubt- 
less the  business  then  took  the  agent  occasionally  to  that  city,  and 
this  may  account  for  his  daughter's  being  there  in  1658-9. 

At  this  time  John  Cooper's  name  begins  to  appear  frequently  as 
attorney  in  cases  before  the  General  Court  ;  also  as  an  appraiser 
of  estates,  like  those  of  Edward  Hitchcock  and  Governor  New- 
man ;  the  Court  appoints  him  a  commissioner  for  the  settlement 
of  Mrs.  Goodyear's  estate  ;  he  is  on  a  committee  to  fix  the 
bounds  of  certain  lands  in  dispute  lying  between  the  colonies  of 
New  Haven  and  Connecticut,  and  he  is  chosen  in  1661  and  1662  a 
Deputy  to  the  General  Court.  After  the  union  of  the  two  colo- 
nies he  was  five  times  Deputy  to  the  Connecticut  General  Assem- 
bly, and  he  held  the  office  of  Townsman,  or  Selectman,  as  we  now 
say,  for  twenty-seven  terms. 

But  perhaps  the  highest  mark  of  esteem  was  given  in  1661.  It 
was  soon  after  the  restoration  of  Charles  II.  to  the  British  throne. 


142  EARLY  DAYS  IN  NEW  HAVEN. 

The  regicides  Goflfe  and  Whalley  had  fled  to  this  country  and 
were  in  hiding  at  New  Haven.  Officers  of  the  King  had  been 
sent  to  arrest  them,  but  had  failed  because  of  the  protection  given 
to  the  fugitives  by  the  people.  Great  indignation  had  been 
aroused,  and  Edward  Rawson,  the  royal  Secretary  at  Boston,  had 
written  to  Governor  Leete  a  sharp  and  threatening  letter.  This 
caused  general  alarm.  President  Stiles  says  :  "  In  less  than  ten 
days  after  the  departure  of  the  pursuivants,  on  May  23,  1661,  John 
Nash  and  John  Cooper,  being  chosen  Deputies  to  the  General 
Court,  declined,  and  the  same  day,  at  a  second  choice,  John 
Davenport,  Jr.,  and  John  Nash  being  elected,  declined  serving. 
No  choice  was  made ;  such  was  the  reluctance  of  all  to  serve  at 
this  critical  juncture.  At  length,  Aug.  i,  1661,  John  Cooper  and 
James  Bishop  were  elected  and  dared  to  accept."  The  former 
had  been  one  of  the  Townsmen  at  the  time  of  the  Judges'  escape, 
and  so  was  in  the  greater  danger.  His  acceptance  of  the  election 
of  Deputy,  therefore,  showed  his  courage.  The  people  were  not 
slow  to  see  this  and  looked  to  him  as  one  whom  they  could 
depend  upon. 

It  was  a  case  of  the  greatest  delicacy,  requiring  the  finest  tact 
and  the  most  prudent  diplomacy.  When,  therefore,  John  Cooper 
was  chosen  one  of  two  who  should  proceed  to  Boston  and  present 
to  the  angry  Secretary  the  reply  of  the  General  Court,  it  was  high 
proof  of  the  esteem  and  confidence  in  which  he  was  held. 

John  Cooper's  "  home  lot "  in  New  Haven  was  on  the  south- 
west corner  of  Church  and  Grove  streets,  extending  nearly  to  the 
present  corner  of  Wall  street.  This  property  passed  to  his  son 
and  long  remained  in  the  family.  Several  other  fields  came  to 
him  as  a  planter,  and  the  whole  amounted  to  about  thirty-four 
acres.  Afterward  he  added  by  purchase,  from  time  to  time,  till 
he  had  land  enough  to  provide  generously  for  his  children. 

Though  he  removed  to  East  Haven  on  account  of  the  iron 
works,  it  seems  probable  that  the  home  in  New  Haven  was  still 
continued  ;  kept,  perhaps,  by  his  daughters. 

The  record  of  his  family  is  as  follows  :

The  dowry  which  Mary  Cooper  received  from  her  father  on  her 
marriage  is  described  in  the  following  instrument  : 

"To  all  Christian  People  to  whom  these  presents  shall  come  Greeting  ;  Now 
Know  Ye  that  I  John  Cooper  senior  of  New  Haven  in  the  colony  of  Connect- 
icut in  New  England  husbandman,  several  good  causes  me  thereunto  moving 

*  Dr.  Ebenezer  Cooper  of  Wallingford  died  about  1741,  and  his  wife  Thankful  administered  his 
estate,  valued  at  465;^ ;  and  Caleb  Cooper  of  New  Haven  died  about  1746,  leaving  a  wife,  Desire 
Sanford,  and  five  minor  children :  i  Caleb,  b.  Aug.  16,  1736,  2  Jason,  b.  April  i8,  1739,  3  Sarah,  b.

No  evidence  is  found  to  connect  these  with  the  family  of  John  Cooper  of  New  Haven. 

There  was  also  a  John  Cooper  at  South  Hampton,  L.  I.,  who  seems  to  have  been  unconnected 
with  the  New  Haven  family.

and  especially  for  and  in  consideration  of  my  fatherly  love  and  aflFection  unto

On  arriving  in  New  Haven,  then,  Abraham  Dickerman  came  at 
once  into  possession  of  considerable  property  from  his  father-in- 
law.  We  can  imagine  what  it  may  have  been  to  the  latter  for  this 
young  man  to  enter  his  family  at  just  this  time  when  the  enter- 
prise at  East  Haven  was  bringing  a  great  increase  of  cares  and 
making  it  impossible  to  attend  to  all  his  old  duties  at  New 
Haven.  Doubtless  the  young  wife,  being  the  oldest  daughter, 
was  given  the  chief  management  of  the  New  Haven  home,  and,

with  her  parents  away  in  East  Haven,  she  and  her  husband  would 
have  been  called  on  for  the  many  things  people  had  come  to 
expect  of  her  parents. 

For  the  young  man  it  must  have  been  an  opening  of  large 
opportunities  full  of  incentives  to  energy  and  ambition.  Not 
only  were  there  personal  and  private  interests  to  be  guarded,  but 
he  was  brought  more  or  less  into  public  concerns.  It  was  a  crit- 
ical time  for  the  colony.  The  question  of  the  union  with  Con- 
necticut was  under  discussion,  with  all  that  involved.  Then 
came  the  restoration  of  Charles  II.,  the  protection  of  the  regicides, 
and  the  exciting  events  which  followed.  His  father-in-law  was 
actively  engaged,  as  we  have  seen.  And  he  himself  must  have 
become  an  interested  participant  in  what  was  going  on.  Public 
concerns  occupied  much  of  his  thought,  and  he  was  at  once 
brought  into  training  for  the  civic  positions  he  was  afterward  to 
occupy. 

There  were  two  incidents  which  familiarized  him  very  soon  with 
court  proceedings.  At  the  time  of  his  marriage,  the  bride's 
father  had  a  case  pending  which  offered  some  rather  comic  fea- 
tures. It  was  over  the  identity  of  a  certain  "  dun  mare  and  her 
colt."  Rev.  Abraham  Pierson,  who  was  then  pastor  at  Branford, 
claimed  them  as  his  and  brought  a  suit  against  John  Cowper  and 
Matthew  Moulthrop  to  recover  them.  The  court  found  the  argu- 
ments so  evenly  balanced  that  a  decision  was  difficult,  and  the 
case  was  put  off  again  and  again  for  over  two  years.  The  mare 
and  colt  were  ordered  up  for  examination,  and  the  grave  heads 
looked  them  over  in  vain  for  further  light.  They  advised  arbitra- 
tion, recommended  the  contestants  to  settle  it  "  betwixt  them- 
selves." But  all  else  failing,  the  decision  was  given  at  last  that 
"  the  Court  do  at  present  judge  that  the  most  probable  right  falls 
on  the  plaintiff's  side."  The  Court  ordered  the  costs  to  be  divided 
between  them. 

The  other  case  was  more  serious.  A  young  girl  named  Mary 
Betts  was  employed  in  Mr.  Cooper's  house  and,  getting  angry  at 
some  punishment,  burnt  his  barn,  with  a  quantity  of  corn  that  it 
contained,  involving  a  loss  of  over  loo;^.  In  the  trial  it  was 
shown  that  the  girl's  mother  and  older  sister  had  put  her  up  to  it. 
With  reference  to  the  penalty  Mr.  Cooper  said  that — 

"  He  desired  that  what  was  done  might  be  that  all  might  heare  and  feare  &  doe 
noe  more  soe  wickedly." 


ABRAHAM   DICKERMAN'S   HOMESTEAD.  147 

The  sentence  given  was — 

"  That  the  said  Mary  Belts  be  publickly  whipped  &  at  the  same  time  weare  an 
halter  about  her  necke  visibly,  the  crime  perpetrated  being  capital  by  law, 
deserving  death  were  she  of  age,  capable  of  such  censure.  ...  It  is  also  ordered 
that  he,  (John  Cooper),  may  at  his  liberty  sell  or  dispose  of  said  Mary  as  a  bond 
servant  for  and  toward  his  satisfaction  to  any  person  and  into  any  place  within 
some  or  other  of  the  English  plantacons  of  one  of  the  4  united  colonies  in  New 
England  &  not  elsewhere,  that  she  may  live  under  publicke  ordinances  for  her 
soules  good,"  and  "  Hannah  Betts  to  be  sett  in  ye  stocks  for  the  space  of  one 
houre." 

After  being  in  New  Haven  some  nine  years  Abraham  Dicker- 
man  bought  the  place  on  the  corner  of  Church  and  Elm  streets, 
diagonally  across  from  the  Green.  This  had  belonged  originally 
to  Richard  Perry,  who  sold  it  to  Thomas  Kimberly,  by  whom  it 
was  deeded  April  17,  1668,  to  Abraham  Dickerman.  There  was  a 
house  on  the  lot  with  a  barn  and  the  new  owner  made  this  his 
home.  His  brother-in-law,  John  Cooper,  Jr.,  had  married  not 
long  before  and  the  old  homestead  went  into  his  hands. 

In  the  following  year,  April  26,  1669,  he  was  chosen  Townsman, 
his  father-in-law  being  also  chosen  to  the  same  office  for  the  ninth 
time ;  and  henceforward  these  two  names  occur  together  for 
eighteen  consecutive  years,  with  the  exception  of  a  single  term  in 
which  the  son's  name  is  missed.  With  the  exception  of  four  years 
Abraham  Dickerman  was  annually  chosen  to  this  office  for  thirty- 
one  years,  from  1669  to  1699  inclusive. 

In  1683  he  was  chosen  Deputy  to  the  Connecticut  General 
Assembly  and  was  re-elected  with  similar  regularity  until  1696. 
There  were  usually  two  sessions  annually,  and  he  served  for 
twenty-one  terms. 

At  the  same  time  that  he  was  chosen  Deputy,  Oct.  1683,  he  was 
confirmed  and  approved  to  be  Lieutenant  of  the  New  Haven 
Traine  Band,  Moses  Mansfield  being  appointed  Captain  at  the 
same  time. 

An  event  of  great  importance  at  this  period  was  the  laying  out 
of  the  town  of  Wallingford  and  the  planting  of  a  settlement 
there.  Many  New  Haven  people  joined  the  enterprise  and 
removed  to  make  their  homes  in  the  new  community.  At  theii 
head  was  Rev.  Samuel  Street,  son  of  the  pastor.  Rev.  Nicholas 
Street,  who  had  been  graduated  at  Harvard  College  in  1664  and 
had  taught  the  Hopkins  Grammar  school  for  ten  years  ;  and  with 
him  were  about  forty  other  men  and  their  families. 


148  EARLY  DAYS  IN  NEW  HAVEN. 

This  colony  was  the  child  of  New  Haven  as  truly  as  its  minister 
was  the  son  of  the  New  Haven  pastor,  and  the  connection  between 
the  two  places  has  been  close  and  happy,  even  to  the  present  day. 

It  is  interesting  to  notice  that  among  those  who  represented 
New  Haven  in  looking  after  this  colony  we  find  both  John 
Cooper  and  Abraham  Dickerman.  First,  the  two  were  on  a  com- 
mittee of  thirteen  to  lay  out  the  boundaries,  which  they  agreed 
upon  Jan.  28,  1673-4.  Next,  in  a  committee  of  six,  three  from 
among  the  new  settlers  and  three  from  New  Haven  ;  the  two  with 
Moses  Mansfield  represent  the  mother  town  in  finally  settling  and 
deciding  the  boundary  lines.  May  12,  1674. 

There  was  also  a  standing  committee  of  the  town  of  New 
Haven,  appointed  in  1669,  and  vested  with  power  to  manage  the 
affairs  of  the  settlement,  holding  the  land  in  trust  and  acting  as 
trustees  in  public  affairs  ;  attending  not  only  to  secular  concerns 
but  also  to  those  of  the  church.  This  committee  consisted  of  Gov. 
William  Jones,  Matthew  Gilbert,  William  Bradley,  John  Harri- 
man,  John  Humiston,  Abraham  Dickerman  and  Jeremiah  Osborn. 

A  fuller  account  of  these  committees  and  of  their  work  may  be 
found  in  Davis'  History  of  Wallingford. 

June  19,  1685,  Abraham  Dickerman  was  appointed  on  a  com- 
mittee "  to  procure  a  patent  for  the  town  bounds "  of  New 
Haven,  the  other  members  being  Gov.  William  Jones,  John  Nash, 
Moses  Mansfield,  Thomas  Trowbridge  and  John  Ailing,  Jr.  The 
patent  was  granted  Jan.  6,  1685,  to  this  committee  "  and  the  rest 
of  the  proprietors  of  the  town."  The  charter  was  renewed  Oct. 
20,  1704,  specifying  William  Jones,  Abraham  Dickerman  and 
John  Ailing  as  the  only  survivors  of  this  committee. 

On  the  same  day,  June  19,  1685,  action  was  taken  for  the  settle- 
ment of  Rev.  James  Pierpont  as  minister  of  the  church,  and  Capt. 
Moses  Mansfield  and  Lieut.  Abraham  Dickerman  were  appointed 
"  to  make  an  instrument  according  to  law  for  passing  grants  the 
town  had  made  to  Mr.  Pierpont  that  they  might  be  his  property 
according  to  law,  if  he  settle  in  Office  with  us."  These  grants 
included  150  acres  of  upland,  7  acres  of  salt  marsh  and  12  acres  of 
bog  meadow.  At  the  next  town  meeting  in  December,  Capt. 
Mansfield  presented  Mr.  Pierpont's  "  grateful  acknowledge- 
ments." Two  years  later  the  town  authorized  the  same  committee 
to  make  a  small  addition  to  this  grant ;  and  again,  in  1696,  they 
were  appointed  to  carry  into  effect  another  grant  of  land. 


ABRAHAM   DICKERMAN.  149 

The  question  of  a  new  meeting-house  began  to  be  agitated 
at  about  this  time,  and  in  1697  the  town  voted  to  "build  of  stone 
and  brick."  There  was  too  little  interest  in  the  movement,  how- 
ever, to  put  it  through,  and  nothing  was  done.  Sometime  after- 
ward at  a  town  meeting,  "  Lieut.  Abraham  Dickerman,  one  of  the 
Townsmen,  informed  the  town  that  the  occasion  of  the  meeting 
was  to  consider  of  either  building  a  new  or  enlarging  the  old 
meeting-house."  The  conclusion  was  to  enlarge  the  old  house, 
which  in  due  time  was  accomplished. 

It  is  interesting  to  see  what  safeguards  this  community  pro- 
vided against  intemperance.  These  were  in  the  way  of  having  an 
"ordinary"  or  authorized  inn,  and  making  this  the  only  place 
where  wine  or  strong  drink  could  be  sold.  On  one  occasion, 
between  1648  and  1649,  the  ordinary  being  closed,  wine  was  sold 
by  a  dealer  in  private,  and  the  chief  patron  was  the  Governor, 
"  who  obtained  it  at  great  charge  for  the  ship  carpenters  that 
came  from  the  Bay  to  work  upon  the  ship,"  for  which  he  had  to 
make  explanations  to  the  Court  and  pay  a  fine  of  40  shillings. 

The  patronage  was  so  small  that  the  ordinary  did  not  pay  and 
William  Andrews,  who  had  kept  it,  asked  the  town  to  help  in  its 
support.  Mr.  Andrews  was  an  honored  man,  having  been  one  of 
the  twelve  founders  and  a  member  of  the  Court,  and  there  was  a 
disposition  to  grant  him  some  aid,  but  not  enough  to  warrant  him 
in  continuing  the  business. 

His  successor,  John  Harriman,  managed  it  from  1649  till  1671, 
when  he  declined  to  do  so  any  longer.  The  town  earnestly 
desired  him  to  continue,  but  he  was  not  willing,  and  it  was  left 
with  the  Townsmen  "to  consider  the  matter  and  endeavor  to  pre- 
pare some  meet  person."  The  result  was  that  at  the  next  meeting 
June  26,  1671,  "Abraham  Dickerman  was  by  vote  appointed  to 
keep  the  ordinary." 

He  consented  to  do  it  "  on  trial  "  but  found  the  business  as 
unsatisfactory  as  the  others  had  done.  A  great  difficulty  was  the 
lack  of  currency.  People  used  "  wampum  "  for  small  change,  and 
this  was  not  easily  turned  into  gold  or  silver,  nor  was  it  taken  in 
payment  of  bills.  After  a  fair  trial  he  gave  notice  of  his  desire  to 
lay  down  the  business,  and  again,  April  27,  1675,  ^e  asked  the 
town  to  provide  another  person  to  keep  it. 

But  the  other  person  was  not  forthcoming  and  the  same 
arrangement  remained  four  years  longer. 


150  EARLY  DAYS  IN  NEW  HAVEN. 

April  2y,  1680,  "Abraham  Dickerman  did  again  give  notice  (as  he  had  done 
formerly),  of  his  purpose  to  leave  off  keeping  the  ordinary,  and  did  not  see  a 
course  taken  to  settling  of  another  in  that  work  ;  but  did  desire  it  might  not  be 
offensive  if  he  left  it  off,  which  he  did  intend  to  do." 

All  this  shows  a  marked  contrast  to  present  conditions,  not 
only  in  this  business  but  in  the  habits  of  the  people.  The  New 
Haveners  of  the  first  century  cannot  have  been  excessively  con- 
vivial. 

Still  they  had  their  temptations,  as  the  following  vote  tells  us  : 

Oct.  I,  i6g4,  "Whereas,  some  inconvenience  is  observed  in  the  use  of  Rum  or 
Strong  Drink  at  Funerals,  the  Town  reccommends  it  to  the  inhabitants  that  may 
from  time  to  time  be  concerned,  that  they  would  use  their  liberty  and  prudence  in 
laying  down  the  custom  for  the  future,  only  as  there  may  be  need  of  some 
refreshing  in  a  private  way  by  persons  living  remote." 

Two  Other  entries  in  the  records  tell  of  the  neighborly  feeling 
that  prevailed,  and  of  measures  for  the  relief  of  the  poor. 

Feb.  12,  i&ji.  "Abraham  Dickerman  propoundid  unto  ye  towne  about  a 
poore  fellow  named  Richard  Bloxum  :  y'  he  had  kept  him  six  weekes  &  could 
not  tell  how  to  keep  him  any  longer,  therefore  he  desired  they  would  consider 
some  way  for  his  dispose. 

Mr.  Jones  acquainted  ye  towne  what  means  had  been  used  by  the  Authorities 
to  free  ye  towne  of  him. 

The  towne  after  debate  and  consideration  agreed  that  some  cloathing  (soe 
much  as  is  necessary)  be  provided  for  Richard  Bloxum  at  the  towns  charge, 
and  y*  what  is  already  expended  &  what  is  necessary  for  his  livelihood  for  the 
future  be  payd  out  of  the  towne  treasury.  John  Cooper  senior,  Jno.  Winston  & 
Jeremiah  Osborne  were  desired  and  appointed  to  look  after  the  providing  for 
Richard  Bloxum  according  to  ye  former  order." 

Jan.  18,  i68j.  "  In  the  case  of  Richard  Newman  who  had  sustained  great 
loss  by  fire  burning  his  house  and  goods,  the  town  declared  a  willingness  to 
help  him  by  a  public  collection  the  next  Sabbath  day,  and  it  was  desired  that 
such  as  gave  in  Bills  would  pay  in  what  they  will  pay  if  in  Corn  or  Wool,  and 
such  as  pay  in  Corn  would  carry  it  unto  Thomas  Tuttle  who  now  promised  to 
receive  it  for  the  poor  man." 

The  Townsman's  tasks  were  manifold  and  without  end.  Because 
the  settlement  was  new  and  on  a  new  plan  all  sorts  of  questions 
were  arising  which  called  for  careful  thought,  shrewd  management 
and  untiring  industry.  In  the  old  country  there  were  precedents 
to  guide  in  the  conduct  of  affairs,  but  here  things  had  to  be  done 
every  day  for  which  there  was  no  precedent.  The  only  law  to 
apply  was  common  sense. 


ABRAHAM   DICKERMAN.  151 

Among  the  hardest  duties  were  those  involved  in  the  grant  of 
individual  privileges  and  the  distribution  of  public  lands.  All  the 
ground  within  the  boundaries  of  the  town  belonged  originally  to 
the  proprietors  in  common.  Assignments  were  made  to  individ- 
uals, usually  by  lot,  and  at  the  outset  in  small  holdings,  as  they 
were  able  to  take  care  of  the  ground. 

But  as  time  went  on  every  man  of  enterprise  wished  to  enlarge 
his  estate.  A  new  field  was  wanted  here  and  there  for  conven- 
ience of  "  fencing  "  or  to  straighten  a  line — a  small  piece  of 
meadow,  or  a  bit  of  swamp,  or  a  corner  of  upland.  One  person 
wishes  to  buy  a  field  of  the  town,  another  asks  "  that  he  may  get 
out  four  thousand  pipe  staves  in  the  commons  ;"  another  wants  a 
mill  site  on  a  stream,  and  another,  encouragement  for  starting  a 
brickyard.  General  legislation  is  impossible.  Every  one  of 
these  cases  has  to  be  treated  on  its  own  particular  merits.  The 
Townsmen  were  the  board  to  look  into  all  these  things  and  advise 
the  town  what  action  to  take,  as  in  the  following  minute  : 

Dec.  2j,  ibgg.  "The  town  by  vote  do  appoint  and  empower  Lieut.  Abraham 
Dickerman  and  Sergt.  Thomas  Talmadge  in  the  name  of  the  Town  to  make  con- 
veyance of  and  to  receive  any  conveyance  for  any  land  exchanged  with  or  sold 
to  any  particular  person  or  persons." 

Then,  all  matters  of  public  interest  were  in  their  care.  They 
were  expected  to  take  the  lead  in  every  movement  for  the  benefit 
of  the  community  from  "  ringing  and  yoking  the  swine  "  that 
ranged  the  commons  to  "  seating  the  meeting-house." 

It  seems  surprising  that  busy,  hard  working  men,  with  large 
families  to  support,  should  have  been  willing  to  carry  these  bur- 
dens year  after  year  without  compensation.  It  may  have  been  in 
part  because  they  felt  the  dignity  of  such  a  trust  from  their  neigh- 
bors, or  perhaps  because  they  had  a  love  of  civic  affairs,  a  fond- 
ness for  the  problems  that  came  up  for  their  study  and  solution. 
But  possibly  there  were  higher  motives.  Did  they  see  the  signifi- 
cance of  their  work  as  founders  of  a  state  ?  Did  they  draw 
inspiration  from  the  possibilities  which  were  then  in  the  bud  ? 
Did  they  have  a  glimmering  consciousness  of  their  opportunity 
and  throw  their  thought  and  their  toil  into  the  hour,  as  sowers 
whose  hearts  were  in  the  future  ? 

Abraham  Dickerman  lived  to  the  age  of  77.  For  53  years  he 
was  in  New  Haven,  and  the  annals  of  the  place  tell  of  a  simple. 


152  EARLY   DAYS   IN   NEW   HAVEN. 

self -forgetting  devotion  to  the  public  good.  If  the  devotion  had 
not  been  unselfish  and  entire  the  people  would  not  have  kept  him 
at  the  front  so  steadily  and  so  long. 

He  had  scant  time  to  look  after  his  own  interests.  We  go  over 
the  records  with  a  thought  that  we  may  come  upon  evidence  of 
personal  advantages  accruing  from  his  place,  but  we  do  not  find 
it.  Nothing  is  accorded  to  any  of  the  Townsmen  which  is  not 
equally  open  to  all  citizens. 

Still  he  was  moderately  prosperous.  From  time  to  time  he 
bought  valuable  lots  and  thus  added  to  the  property  his  father- 
in-law  gave  him.  Besides  the  homestead  he  had  of  Thomas  Kim- 
berly,  he  obtained  27  acres  of  James  Russell,  23  acres  of  Matthew 
Ford,  3  acres  of  Benjamin  Wilmot,  and  8  acres  or  more  that  had 
belonged  to  the  widow  Johnson  ;  also  other  real  estate  referred  to 
in  his  will.  He  shared,  of  course,  with  other  citizens  in  the  sev- 
eral allotments  of  public  land,  and  received  in  this  way  at  least  50 
acres.  This,  with  careful  management,  gave  him  a  competence, 
though  he  was  not  rich.  In  1680  he  was  rated  at  86^.  i8s.  ;  in 
1683,  at  134;!^,  and  in  1702  at  121;;^. 

His  will,  drawn  about  a  year  and  a  half  before  his  death,  is  here 
given  : 

The  last  will  and  Testament  of  Abram  Dickerman  is  as  follows  :  and  first  of 
all  I  do  committ  my  precious  soule  into  ye  hands  of  God  in  Jesus  Christ  and 
my  body  to  ye  earth  at  ye  discretion  of  my  Executors  hereafter  named  in  hopes 
of  a  glorious  resurrection  through  Jesus  Christ  my  great  redeemer, — And  as  for

CHAPTER   VIII. 


ABRAHAM"   DICKERMAN'S    CHILDREN. 

"  For  I  know  him,  that  he  will  command  his  children  and  his  household  after 
him,  and  they  shall  keep  the  way  of  the  Lord  to  do  justice  and  judgment." 

— Genesis,  xviii.  ig. 

There  are  two  modes  of  power,  one  direct,  the  other  indirect. 
A  man  may  exert  influence  by  his  own  life  and  conduct,  or  by  the 
life  and  conduct  of  those  whom  he  leaves  to  be  his  represen- 
tatives, as  in  the  case  of  his  children.  Many  have  wrought 
effectively  in  both  ways,  and  so  extensive  has  been  the  influence 
exerted  in  each  that  one  hesitates  to  say  which  was  the  wider. 

We  have  an  example  of  this  in  Rev.  James  Pierpont.  He  was 
the  minister  of  the  New  Haven  church  for  thirty  years  and  his 
work  was  fruitful  in  a  large  way.  Among  other  things  he  bore  a 
leading  part  in  the  founding  of  Yale  College.  But  at  the  same 
time  there  was  growing  up  in  his  home  that  gifted  child  who 
became  the  wife  of  Jonathan  Edwards  and  mother  of  a  family 
whose  sons  and  daughters  have  molded  prevailing  thought  for  a 
hundred  and  fifty  years.  Taking  into  view  his  influence  in  each 
of  these  ways,  one  hesitates  to  say  which  was  the  greater. 

And  the  same  may  be  said  of  those  to  whom  Mr.  Pierpont  min- 
istered. Whatever  they  accomplished  in  laying  the  foundations 
of  a  new  commonwealth,  that  was  only  one  phase  of  their  work. 

This  will  be  found  true  of  the  "  Townsman  "  Abraham  Dicker- 
man,  who  attended  the  ministry  of  Mr.  Pierpont.  He  did  much 
by  his  direct  and  immediate  efforts  for  the  people  among  whom 
he  lived.  We  cannot  review  that  half  century  of  his  life  without 
being  impressed  with  this.  But  if  anyone  should  conclude  that 
this  was  all  he  did  for  New  Haven  it  would  be  a  very  serious 
mistake.  He,  too,  did  a  work  in  his  home  that  was  to  tell  in 
lasting  influences.  The  proofs  will  appear  in  the  glimpses  we 
gain  of  the  life  and  character  of  his  descendants.

—Chart  VI. 

Extending  to  the  northward  from  New  Haven  for  a  distance 
of  eight  miles  is  a  valley,  having  East  Rock  on  the  right  hand, 
West  Rock  on  the  left,  and  at  the  head  of  the  valley  another 
range,  formerly  called  The  Blue  Hills,  but  now  known  as  Mt. 
Carmel.  The  name  of  the  town  comprising  this  whole  valley  is 
Hamden,  so  named  undoubtedly  in  honor  of  John  Hampden,  the 
champion  of  English  popular  rights.  But  the  northern  part  of 
the  valley  is  called,  from  the  steep  hills  under  whose  brow  it 
reposes,  Mt.  Carmel. 

Until  within  thirty  or  forty  years  the  people  of  this  parish  were 
nearly  all  embraced  under  three  or  four  names,  Ives,  Dickerman, 
Bradley  and  Hitchcock  ;  and  research  shows  that  most  of  these 
were  descended  from  Abraham*  Dickerman.  This  will  be  seen  in 
accounts  of  other  families,  as  the  record  proceeds. 

At  the  extremity  of  the  valley  there  is  a  notch  in  the  hills 
through  which  the  road  goes  towards  Cheshire.  This  notch  was 
called  in  old  times  "  The  Steps,"  and  aged  people  of  the  neighbor- 
hood will  recognize  this  as  a  familiar  term  in  their  youthful  days.

l64  EARLY  DAYS  IN  MT.  CARMEL. 

Just  beyond  *'  The  Steps  "  a  road  leads  off  from  the  main  turn- 
pike to  the  west,  and  at  the  head  of  this  road  was  the  house  of 
Samuel  Hitchcock. 

About  a  mile  to  the  south  another  road  leads  eastward  and 
crosses  the  river  towards  North  Haven.  Just  before  crossing  the 
river,  on  the  right  hand,  is  the  homestead  of  Elam  Ives,  recently 
owned  by  his  son,  Lucius*  Ives,  now  deceased,  and  still  belonging 
to  the  family.  Across  the  river,  a  little  to  the  east,  lies  the 
older  homestead  where  Elam  Ives  was  born  and  reared.  This  is 
now  in  possession  of  Henry  Todd,  who  is  a  great  grandson  of 
James  and  Sarah  (Tuttle)  Ives*,  and  inherits  the  place  from  his 
grandfather,  Eber  Ives,  whose  daughter  Easter  was  the  first  wife 
of  Loyal  Todd,  Esq.

*  There  were  two  persons  having  the  name  of  Sarah  Tuttle,  one  the  daughter  of  Amos,  b.  Jan. 
7,  1733,  the  other  the  daughter  of  Josiah,  b.  March  25,  1723.  The  inscription  on  the  gravestone  of 
Mrs.  Ives  at  Centerville,  Hamden,  Conn.,  reads:  "In  memory  of  Mrs.  Sarah  Ives,  Consort  0/ 
Mr.  [antes  Ives,  who  died  Jan.  Bi,  A.D.  i7qb,  M.  74."  This  shows  that  the  time  of  her  birth 
coincides  with  that  of  Josiah  Tuttle's  daughter. 

The  Tuttle  Family, p.  36,  supposes  her  to  be  the  wife  of  Benjamin  Warner,  Jr.,  who  was  born 
May  2,  1730,  and  was  therefore  seven  years  younger  than  she ;  while  James  Ives  is  supposed  to 
have  married  the  daughter  of  Amos,  /.  soS.  This  Sarah  Tuttle  would  have  been  of  suitable  age 
for  Mr.  Warner,  and  doubtless  the  two  names  have  been  interchanged  by  mistake.

He  was  a  soldier  in  the  Union  Army  ;  enlisted  in  1862  at  the  organization  of 
Co.  I,  20  Reg.  C.  v.,  and  was  promoted  to  be  Sergeant.  He  served  through  the 
war  and  was  mustered  out  with  his  regiment,  having  earned  a  high  reputation 
for  bravery  and  soldierly  fidelity.  The  Captain  of  his  Company,  Major  Ezra  D.' 
Dickerman,  said  of  him  : 

"  I  remember  a  remarkable  incident  which  showed  his  fearlessness.  It  hap- 
pened at  the  battle  of  Gettysburg.  He  had  been  delegated  for  a  short  time  to 
carry  off  the  bodies  of  the  wounded,  and  the  company  had  shifted  its  position 
from  a  slight  elevation,  over  which  shot  and  shell  swept  like  rain  in  a  storm. 
It  was  found  that  a  member  of  the  company  had  been  left  wounded  on  the  ele- 
vation. Ives  coolly  went  back,  and  amid  the  hail  of  shot,  carried  off  his  man. 
He  was  as  brave  as  a  lion." 

This  Captain  and  he  were  shot  almost  at  the  same  instant  at  the  battle  of 
Peachtree  Creek,  Ga.,  July  20,  1864,  and  were  supposed  to  be  killed,  but 
both  finally  recovered.  They  had  been  companions  from  childhood  and  their 
war  experiences  united  them  in  a  still  closer  friendship.  Mr.  Ives's  wound  was 
from  a  minie  ball  that  passed  through  his  neck,  having  struck  him  in  the 
cheek,  and  it  continued  to  cause  him  pain  and  trouble  to  the  end  of  life.

Elam  Ives,  Esq.,  usually  called  "  Squire  Ives  "  at  Mt.  Carmel, 
was  a  man  of  great  native  force  and  unyielding  persistence  in 
whatever  he  undertook.  During  the  war  of  181 2  he  established  a 
freight  line  between  Boston  and  New  York,  under  the  manage- 
ment of  his  two  sons.  Parsons*  and  Jason*,  then  at  the  ages  of 
twenty  and  fifteen.  The  spirit  of  enterprise  thus  early  shown  has 
marked  the  later  history  of  the  family,  and  has  been,  perhaps,  the 
chief  factor  in  changing  this  old  farming  community  into  a  man- 
ufacturing village. 

Parsons*  and  Jason*  began  the  manufacture  of  iron  axles  by 
machinery  in  1833,  and  were  aided  by  their  brothers  Henry*  and 
James.*  This  business  was  continued  and  developed  by  Henry 
and  his  son  Frederick",  and  became  large  and  prosperous. 

James*  was  the  leading  spirit  in  various  manufacturing  indus- 
tries throughout  his  life.  At  the  age  of  seventeen  he  put  himself 
to  learning  the  trade  of  a  mechanic  and  followed  mechanical  pur- 
suits ever  after  with  eager  interest.  Possessed  of  unusual  inge- 
nuity, he  made  many  valuable  discoveries  and  obtained  patents  on 
a  number  of  inventions.  His  principal  business  was  the  manu- 
facture of  carriage  and  harness  hardware,  which  had  been 
unknown  in  this  country  till  he  introduced  it.  He  was  a  public 
spirited  citizen,  watchful  for  the  welfare  of  the  community  and 
assiduous  in  efforts  for  the  church  and  other  good  institutions.

Lucius'  was  also  prominent  in  the  church,  and  was  an  efficient 
worker  in  the  Sunday  School  and  in  temperance  reform. 

Many  of  the  family  were  gifted  as  musicians.  Elam'  and  Wil- 
liam* were  successful  music  teachers  and  made  this  their  calling  ; 
they  were  also  composers  and  publishers  of  music.  Julius*  and 
the  sister,  Mrs.  Mary*  Dickerman,  were  also  very  musical,  and 
several  of  the  grandchildren  have  been  successful  instructors  in 
the  same  art. 

Of  the  thirteen  sons  and  daughters,  ten  lived  to  be  over  fifty  ; 
six  passed  the  boundary  of  three-score  and  ten,  and  four,  Jason*, 
Julius*,  Lucius*  and  James*  observed  their  golden  weddings. 


Caleb  Chidsey=  Hannah'  Dickerman.

Dickerman  (Thomas'),  b.  Nov.  6,  1665,  d.  Dec.  25, 1703.  m.  July  6, 
1693,  Dea.  Caleb  Chidsey,  son  of  Dea.  John  and  Elizabeth  Chidsey, 
b.  Nov.  20,  1661,  d.  Feb.  20,  1713,  ae.  52.  His  first  wife  was  Anna 
Thompson,  whom  he  m.  May  10,  1688.  She  died  Jan.  15,  1692. 
"Dea.  John  Chidsey  signed  the  Colony  Constitution  1644,  being 
then  about  twenty-three  years  of  age  ;  he  removed  to  Stoney  River 
(that  is  East  Haven)  1681.  This  name  in  England  is  spelled 
Chedsey,  and  is  the  name  of  a  town.  And  so  it  appears  on  the  old 
records  and  monuments.  It  was  so  used  by  the  sons  of  John 
Chedsey.  It  has  since  been  changed  to  Chidsey." — Dodd's  East 
Haven  Register. 

The  father  was  a  man  of  large  family  and  small  property  ; 
recorded  in  1680  as  having  10  heads,  an  estate  of  18;^.  and  entitled 
to  40  acres  of  land  in  the  division  of  that  time.  His  control  of  his 
children  is  shown  in  a  minute  of  the  town  meeting  Dec.  26,  1687  : 

"  Dea.  John  Chedsey  objects  against  the  election  of  his  son  Caleb  Chedsey  to 
be  constable,  being  one  of  his  family  and  under  his  government." 

As  the  young  man  was  then  twenty-six  years  old,  we  see  that 
parental  authority  was  continued  later  than  it  is  now.  The  high 
esteem  in  which  the  family  was  held  is  proved  by  the  choice  of 
both  father  and  son  to  the  office  of  deacon.

William  Bradley,  the  father  of  Nathaniel,  is  said  to  have  been 
the  first  white  resident  of  North  Haven.  He  came  into  possession 
of  a  farm  previously  owned  by  Francis  Brewster,  who  had  one 
hundred  and  fifty-four  acres  of  upland  and  thirty-three  of  mead- 
ow, on  the  west  side  of  the  Quinnipiac. 

James*  Bradley  bought  about  four  hundred  acres  of  land  in 
North  Haven  in  1724.  His  name  and  that  of  his  wife  are  the  first 
on  the  roll  of  the  North  Haven  Church  manual. 

Obed'  Bradley's  daughter  Deborah"  married  Glover'  Street, 
dau.  of  Glover*  and  Lydia  (Allen)  Street  (Samuer,  Samuel',  Sam- 
uel", Nicholas')  of  North  Haven.  Their  son,  Whiting'^  Street, 
lived  in  Holyoke,  Mass.,  and  left  an  estate  of  nearly  half  a  million, 
a  large  part  of  which  was  given  in  his  will  to  various  benevolent 
objects. 


CHAPTER   IX. 


SPERRY  FARM  AT  AMITY. 

"We  are  more  thoroughly  an  enlightened  people,  with  respect  to  our  political 
interests,  than  perhaps  any  other  under  heaven The  great  body  of  intel- 
ligence among  our  people  surrounds  and  overpowers  our  petty  dissensions  as 
the  sun's  great  mass  of  fire  diminishes  and  destroys  his  spots." 

— Benjamin  Franklin  to  David  Hartley  in  178J. 

There  is  an  education  of  the  fields  and  the  woods  as  well  as  of 
the  schools.  It  may  not  be  easy  to  define  this,  for  there  are  no 
theses  written,  no  diplomas  given,  no  degrees  conferred  ;  but  in 
the  strenuous  movements  of  a  nation's  life  this  education  is  felt. 
There  is  a  parade  of  power,  and  there  are  powers  that  make  no 
parade,  only  bring  things  to  pass. 

People  who  live  in  the  country  are  handling  quiet  forces,  but 
these  are  forces  still.  The  daily  round  in  such  a  place  is  a  training 
to  deal  with  actualities  and  to  deal  with  them  strongly.  This  is 
why  country  boys,  notwithstanding  a  certain  awkwardness  and 
lack  of  polish,  rank  so  well. 

And  what  of  the  hereditary  traits  that  are  passed  down  from 
parents  to  their  sons  and  daughters — where  are  they  likeliest  to  be 
sound  ?  If  we  could  put  side  by  side  the  children  of  a  hundred 
years  in  the  counting-house,  in  the  mill,  in  the  mine,  and  the 
children  of  a  hundred  years  on  a  farm,  which  would  come  to  the 
front  ?  Which  would  show  the  healthiest  body,  nerves  most  in 
tone,  a  brain  to  work  the  hardest  and  the  longest?  Which  would 
be  quickest  to  see,  boldest  to  do,  and  bravest  to  bear  the  brunt  of 
struggle  ? 

Forty  years  ago  the  strength  of  America  was  in  her  country 
people.  Where  is  it  to-day  ?  Where  will  it  be  forty  years  to  come  ? 
In  cities  ? 

Then  must  cities  be  better  than  the  country.  It  will  not  be 
enough  that  multitudes  are  there  and  activities  are  intense.  The 
multitudes  must  be  virtuous  and  their  activities  in  righteousness. 
Homes  must  be  purer  on  the  avenue  and  in  the  alley  than  on  the 
farm  and  in  the  woods.     Family  life  must  be  fuller  and  sweeter. 


SPERRY   FARM   AT   AMITY.  l8l 

Children  must  be  more  happily  born,  must  pass  their  childhood 
under  a  wiser  parental  oversight,  and  grow  up  not  in  slavery  to 
crippling  artificialities  but  amid  influences  tonic  of  high  purpose 
and  worthy  conduct. 

Wherever  such  conditions  have  scope,  whether  in  palace  or 
cabin,  in  swarming  metropolis  or  dreary  solitude,  there  will  be 
found  the  elements  of  a  nation's  strength. 

This  makes  the  study  of  communities  and  of  families  interesting. 
By  going  up  the  stream  of  generations  past  we  may  learn  the  laws 
by  which  the  stream  is  flowing  on. 

Richard  Sperry  was  among  the  early  settlers  of  New  Haven, 
though  not  one  of  the  original  planters.  His  name  occurs  Jan.  4, 
1643,  and  again  in  the  Court  records  May  2,  1648,  where  the  entry 
is : 

"  Richard  Sperry  was  complained  of  for  not  coming  to  watch,  but  Mr.  Goodier 
answered  for  him  that  when  he  was  neare  comeing  from  the  farme  they  wanted 
an  oxe  ;  the  neager  said  he  was  sicke  and  left  in  the  woods  ;  so  he  was  faine  to 
goe  forth  to  seeke  hime  least  he  should  be  lost." 

President  Stiles  says  that  Stephen  Goodyear,  "  a  rich  settler 
bought  of  the  town  a  tract  of  a  thousand  or  twelve  hundred  acres 
of  land  in  the  fertile  valley  to  the  westward  of  West  Rock  and 
planted  on  it  his  farmer  Richard  Sperry,  which  farm  Richard 
Sperry  afterwards  became  possessed  of,  and  it  was  known  as 
Sperry's  Farm.  On  this  tract  Mr.  Goodyear  built  Sperry  a  house  ; 
and  in  the  woods  about  a  mile  south-west  stood  the  house  of 
Ralph  Lines.  These  were  the  only  two  houses  in  1661  between 
West  Rock  and  Hudson  River,  except  a  few  at  Derby.  All  was 
an  immense  wilderness." 

This  allusion  is  made  in  describing  the  part  which  Richard 
Sperry  played  in  protecting  the  regicides,  Goffe  and  Whalley.  At 
the  time  when  pursuers  from  England  were  trying  to  ferret  out 
their  hiding  place,  three  friends,  William  Jones,  Richard  Sperry 
and  another  by  the  name  of  Burril,  led  them  out  of  town  into  this 
wilderness,  and  here  they  were  kept  safely  concealed. 

The  first  retreat  was  at  a  place  three  or  four  miles  from  town  to 
which  the  fugitives  gave  the  name  of  "  Hatchet  Harbor,"  from  a 
hatchet  they  found  with  which  to  build  a  shelter.  Then  after  two 
nights  they  were  taken  up  the  cliff,  which  they  named  "Providence 
Hill,"  and  here  a  pile  of  huge  rocks  was  shown  them  under  whose 


1 82  EARLY  DAYS  IN  NEW  HAVEN. 

arching  sides  a  better  lodging  could  be  made,  while  the  elevation 
gave  a  commanding  view  of  the  town  and  the  bay.  This  group  of 
rocks  is  still  known  as  "  The  Judges'  Cave." 

Here  they  continued  from  the  15th  of  May  to  the  nth  of  June 
1661  :  usually  spending  their  nights  at  the  cave,  as  well  as  days, 
but  sometimes  in  stormy  weather  going  down  to  the  house  of  their 
guardian.  "  Richard  Sperry  daily  supplied  them  with  food  ;  some- 
times carrying  it  himself,  at  other  times  sending  it  by  one  of  his 
boys,  tied  up  in  a  cloth,  ordering  them  to  lay  it  on  a  certain  stump 
and  leave  it  :  and  when  the  boy  went  there  at  night  he  always 
found  the  basons  emptied  of  the  provisions,  and  brought  them 
home.  Upon  the  boy's  wondering  and  asking  what  it  meant  he 
was  told  that  there  was  somebody  at  work  in  the  woods  that 
wanted  it." 

One  night  a  panther,  or  some  other  wild  animal,  visited  them 
at  this  spot  and  frightened  them  so  that  they  dared  not  sleep  there 
again  and  had  to  find  another  place  to  hide. 

Probably  Richard  Sperry  was  the  only  person  who  knew  their 
exact  whereabouts,  and  he  kept  the  secret  so  well  that  the  king's 
oflHcers  pursued  a  vain  search. 

Nathaniel  Sperry's  name  is  in  the  list  of  those  to  whom  land 
was  allotted  April  3,  1704.  There  were  ten  in  his  family.  His 
estate*  was  rated  in  1683  at  73  jQ,  and  in  1702  at  88  ^.  He  had 
36^^  acres  of  sequestered  land  and  received  at  that  time  i2>%.  acres 
more. 

It  is  not  clear  when  his  wife  Sarah  died,  but  he  seems  to  have 
had  a  second  wife  at  the  time  of  his  own  death,  who  is  mentioned 
in  his  will,  dated  Dec.  3,  1729,  and  proved  April  7,  1735.  In  it  are 
these  clauses. 

"  I  give  unto  Esther  my  dearly  beloved  wife  more  than  I  covenanted  to  give  her 
in  marriage,  that  is  to  say  ye  privilege  of  one  room  in  my  house  and  all  convenien- 
ces of  cellar,  oven  and  well,  as  she  shall  need,  so  long  as  she  bears  my  name, 
and  my  two  sons  Nathaniel  and  Joshua  to  provide  for  her  one  good  cow  and  to 
provide  for  her  keeping  summer  and  winter,  also  to  find  for  my  said  wife  suf- 
ficient fire  wood  summer  and  winter  ;  but  if  she  shall  choose  to  live  elsewhere, 
.  .  .  my  two  sons  Nathaniel  and  Joshua  shall  pay  to  her  the  sum  of  three  pounds 
as  money  in  ye  form  aforesaid,  but  no  longer. 

To  my  grandchildren,  children  of  my  daughter  Sarah  as  they  come  of  age 
and  marry,  to  each  of  them  the  sum  of  twenty  shillings. 

To  my  five  daughters  Rachel,  Lydia,  Rebeckah,  Hannah  and  Thankful,  four 
pounds  apeice. 


SPERRY   FARM   AT  AMITY.  I83 

To  my  daughter  in  law  Mary  wife  of  Joel  Monson  the  sum  of  forty  shillings. 
To  my  three  sons  Nathaniel,  Joshua  and  Enos,  .   .  .  (houses,  real  estate,  etc.) 
also  my  Sabbath  Day  House  at  ye  town  and  ye  land  that  adjoins  it." 

When  this  will  was  drawn,  the  time  was  approaching  for  stormy- 
dissensions  in  the  New  Haven  church,  and  for  the  establishment 
of  another  society.  There  may  have  been  premonition  of  this 
already  which  led  to  an  additional  clause  about  the  Sabbath  day 
house. 

"provided  that  if  either  son  become  seperated  from  the  First  Society  by 
removing  or  otherwise,  he  or  they  shall  not  sell  to  a  stranger  his  or  their  part, 
but  to  the  Brother  or  Brothers  at  the  time  who  shall  abide  in  the  said  First 
Society,  and  at  ye  price  of  five  pounds  for  one  third  part." 

With  the  growth  of  the  people  in  numbers  change  was  inevitable. 
Families  living  so  far  from  the  center  of  the  town  gradually  came 
to  interest  themselves  more  in  their  own  neighborhood  and  less  in 
the  larger  community.  This  was  the  more  natural  because  the 
children,  as  they  grew  up  and  married,  were  apt  to  settle  near  the 
old  place,  so  that  the  neighborhood  was  usually  one  of  brothers 
and  sisters  and  cousins.  Thus  it  was  in  the  neighborhood  of 
"  Sperry's  Farm."  It  became  a  Sperry  neighborhood,  and  it  has 
continued  so  to  the  present  time.  Other  family  names  appear,  as 
Lines,  Perkins,  Hotchkiss.  Peck,  Johnson,  but  these  will  be  found  so 
united  together  by  intermarriage  that  most  of  the  present  people 
through  one  line  or  another  are  from  common  ancestors.  Thus 
the  tenure  of  the  original  "  farmer  Sperry  "  has  continued  for  two 
hundred  and  fifty  years  in  the  persons  of  his  descendants.* 

*  Richard  Sperry  had  ten  children  and  over  sixty  grandchildren.    His  children  were 

1.  John,  b.  Jan.  9,  1649.    m.  Sep.  i,  1676,  Elizabeth  Post.

We  are  indebted  to  Hon.  N.  D.''  Sperry  of  New  Haven  for 
reminiscences  of  his  early  home  life. 

His  grandfather,  Simeon"  Sperry,  was  born  in  Woodbridge,  then 
a  part  of  New  Haven,  and  lived  and  died  there.  He  was  a  small 
manufacturer  and  farmer,  and  held  some  minor  town  offices. 
Naturally  retiring,  his  family  life  was  exemplary  in  all  respects. 
He  was  a  man  of  great  decision,  of  undoubted  integrity,  and 
enjoyed  the  confidence  of  all  who  knew  him. 

Enoch"  Sperry,  son  of  Simeon  Sperry,  was  also  born  in  Wood- 
bridge,  and  lived  on  what  is  known  as  Sperry's  Farm,  at  the  place 
where  the  grist-mill  and  the  carding-machine-mill  were  located. 
This  was  where  the  colonists  of  a  very  early  time  ground  their 
grain  and  had  their  wool  carded,  spun  and  woven  into  cloth.  He, 
like  his  father  before  him,  was  also  a  small  manufacturer  and 
farmer  and  held  a  few  town  offices.  A  natural  mathematician,  he 
would  solve  the  most  difficult  problems  in  his  own  way  without 
the  rules  of  ordinary  arithmetics.  His  home  life  was  beautiful. 
He  always  had  family  devotions,  and  was  a  sincere  Christian,  a 
man  of  the  highest  integrity,  and  one  who  would  go  farther  than 
most  men  to  assist  those  in  distress  or  need.     Greatly  interested 


HON.    NEHEMIAH   D.'   SPERRY.  187 

in  matters  of  the  day,  he  would  discuss  political  and  religious  sub- 
jects with  great  freedom  and  intelligence.  Outside  of  business 
his  chief  delight  was  in  church  afifairs.  He  was  a  member  of  the 
Congregational  church,  and  often  moderator  of  their  meetings  ;  he 
was  chosen  to  settle  disputes  both  in  and  out  of  the  church,  and 
his  decisions  were  seldom  questioned. 

L.  W.''  Sperry,  the  oldest  son  of  Enoch  Sperry,  was  engaged  in 
the  lumber  and  coal  business  in  New  Haven  and  Hartford.  He 
was  a  member  of  the  State  Legislature  in  the  lower  house  ;  and  of 
the  Senate  for  two  terms  :  he  was  Mayor  of  New  Haven  ;  also 
Bank  Commissioner  of  the  State. 

Stiles  D.'  Sperry  was  a  merchant  in  New  Haven  for  many  years. 
He  was  elected  treasurer  of  the  State  Savings  Bank  at  Hartford 
and  served  in  that  capacity  until  his  death.  He  was  a  Represen- 
tative from  Hartford  in  the  General  Assembly  for  two  terms,  and 
held  high  and  influential  positions  in  Masonic  institutions. 

Laura  A.'  Sperry  was  a  school  teacher  in  early  life  and  married 
Andrew  J.  Ramsdell.     She  lives  in  Brooklyn  and  has  two  children. 

E.  Knight'^  Sperry  is  a  merchant.  He  was  for  several  years 
the  book-keeper  of  the  City  Bank  at  New  Haven.  He  was 
appointed  by  President  Lincoln  Consul  at  Barbadoes,  and  served 
about  two  years.  He  married  Sarah  A.  Treat,  daughter  of  Jonah 
N.  Treat,  and  now  lives  in  New  Haven  and  has  charge  of  the 
Treat  estate. 

The  History  of  the  City  of  New  Haven  by  Edward  E.  Atwater  con- 
tains a  biographical  sketch  of  Hon.  N.  D.^  Sperry,  from  which  the 
following  is  mostly  taken. 

"  His  education  was  chiefly  obtained  in  the  district  school-house. 
It  was  a  plain,  low  house,  standing  beneath  three  elms.  Its  one 
room,  rudely  furnished  with  slabs,  and  warmed  in  winter  by  a  large 
open  fire,  accommodated  about  fifty-five  scholars.  Often  here  in 
the  evenings  social  religious  meetings  were  held,  the  ladies  bring- 
ing their  silver,  brass  or  glass  candlesticks.  While  he  was  yet  lit- 
tle more  than  a  boy,  he  began  to  teach  and  continued  to  do  so  dur- 
ing the  winter  months  for  several  years.  The  last  season  of  his 
teaching  he  received  the  highest  salary  paid  in  Connecticut  for 
district-school  teaching.  The  Committee  having  in  charge  several 
schools,  offered  a  prize  to  the  one  which  should  make  the  greatest 
improvement.     This  prize  was  awarded  to  Mr.  Sperry's  school." 

Having  learned  the  trade  of  a  mason  builder,  he  formed  a  busi- 
ness partnership  with  his  brother-in-law,  Willis  M,  Smith,  and  to 


1 88  EARLY  DAYS  IN  NEW  HAVEN. 

this  firm  New  Haven  owes  many  of  its  finest  and  most  important 
buildings. 

A  man  of  activity,  ambition  and  public  spirit,  he  interested  him- 
self in  many  enterprises  for  public  improvement.  He  organized 
the  first  street  railroad  in  the  State  and  subsequently  secured  most 
of  the  legislation  respecting  such  roads.  He  was  also  an  active 
promoter  of  the  New  Haven  and  Derby  Railroad. 

Entering  the  political  field,  he  was  elected  Secretary  of  State  for 
two  successive  terms.  While  he  held  that  office  the  constitutional 
amendment  making  reading  a  qualification  for  voting  was  pre- 
pared at  his  suggestion,  and  carried  into  effect. 

He  was  a  member  of  the  National  American  Convention  at 
Philadelphia  in  1855,  and  one  of  the  committee  on  platform.  The 
fight  in  the  committee  was  on  the  question  of  slavery.  He  took 
the  anti-slavery  side  and  was  in  the  minority  by  one  vote.  A 
majority  report  was  made,  and  also  a  report  of  the  minority.  The 
majority  report  was  carried ;  whereupon  the  anti-slavery  men  left 
the  convention  in  a  body,  and  passed  what  is  known  as  the  Girard 
House  Resolution.  This  was  the  first  bolt  in  a  national  convention 
on  the  subject  of  slavery. 

From  this  time  Mr.  Sperry  affiliated  with  the  Republican  party. 
He  was  a  member  of  the  convention  in  1856  which  nominated 
John  C.  Fremont  for  the  presidency.  He  was  soon  Chairman  of 
the  State  Republican  Committee,  a  position  he  held  for  many 
years,  and  under  his  management  the  State  was  always  Republican. 
He  was  efficient  in  securing  the  election  of  Governor  Buckingham, 
and  then  in  the  nomination  and  election  of  President  Lincoln. 
He  was  Secretary  of  the  National  Republican  Committee,  a  Dele- 
gate to  the  Baltimore  convention  which  renominated  Mr.  Lincoln, 
and  one  of  the  Executive  Committee  of  seven  which  had  in  charge 
the  campaign  which  resulted  in  his  re-election. 

He  contributed  much  to  the  success  of  the  Government  in  the 
war.  He  was  chairman  of  the  Recruiting  Committee  to  furnish 
.  New  Haven's  quota  of  troops.  When  the  Monitor  was  built,  he 
became  a  bondsman  for  the  builders.  He  was  on  intimate  terms 
with  President  Lincoln  and  his  advisers,  with  whom  his  opinions 
had  much  weight. 

He  was  President  of  the  State  Republican  Convention  which 
named  General  Grant  for  the  presidency  and  was  one  of  his  earliest 
supporters  in  Connecticut. 

On  the  accession  of  President  Lincoln,  Mr.  Sperry  was  appointed 


EBENEZER   SPERRY'S   FAMILY.  189 

Postmaster  at  New  Haven  and  held  the  position  till  May  6,  1885. 
He  received  the  appointment  again  under  President  Harrison  and 
retained  it  till  President  Cleveland's  second  administration.  In  all 
he  was  postmaster  for  twenty-eight  years  and  two  months :  and 
under  him  the  New  Haven  office  became  famous  for  the  superior- 
ity of  its  mail  service. 

He  was  elected  Representative  of  the  Second  Connecticut 
District  in  the  Fifty-fourth  Congress,  and  has  served  on  the  Com- 
mittee for  Post  Offices  and  Post  Roads,  also  on  the  Committee  of 
Expenditures  in  the  Post  Office  Department. 

His  long  life,  full  of  eventful  experiences,  gives  him  great 
influence  in  national  concerns,  as  well  as  in  the  more  restricted 
sphere  of  the  city  where  he  lives.

Mulatto  Girl  shall  be  made  free,  provided  my  children  and  estate  be  well  and 
sufficiently  secured  from  charges  on  her  account." 

The  will  of  Abigail  Sperry,  dated  Jan.  13,  175 1-2,  proved  March 
3>  1752,  presented  in  Court  by  John  Wilmot,  Jacob  Sperry  and 
Amos  Sperry,  is  as  follows  : 


190  EARLY   DAYS   IN   NEW   HAVEN. 

•'  I  Abigail  Sperry,  widow,  of  the  Society  of  Amity  (Woodbridge)  ....  being 
advanced  in  years  and  very  sick,  yet  of  sound  mind  and  of  perfect  memory, 
calling  to  mind  my  own  mortality  y'  in  a  little  time  I  must  dye,  and  am  desirous 

to  set  my  house  in  order  before  I  depart I  appoint  Ephraim  Morris,   my 

son-in-law,  sole  executor,  ....  I  give  to  my  three  surviving  sons,  Abraham, 
Jacob  and  Amos  Sperry,  five  pounds  old  Tenor  each  ....  also  five  pounds  to 
the  heirs  of  my  son  Isaac  Sperry  lately  deceased. 

I  give  unto  Dennis  Bradley  wife  of  Andrew  Bradley,  my  grand-child,  my 
young  mare  about  six  years  old,  one  of  my  best  cows,  my  best  feather  bed, 
bolster  and  pillow,  three  coverlets  and  a  pair  of  blankets,  two  pair  of  sheets,  two 
pair  of  pillow  cases,  a  brown  Colonial  chest  with  one  draw,  a  table  with  one 
draw,  three  sleys  for  weaving,  one  thirty,  one  twenty-six,  one  twenty-three  leers, 
one  linnen  wheel 

I  give  to  my  three  daghters,  Ruth  Morris,  Denis  Wilmot  and  Sarah  Beecher 
all  the  remaining  part  of  my  estate,  moneys,  creatures,  household  goods,  orna- 
ments and  wearing  apparel to  be  equally  divided  among  them." 

The  people  of  Woodbridge,  or  the  ancient  *'  society  of  Amity," 
held  a  celebration  June  7,  1893,  in  commemoration  of  the  found- 
ing of  their  church  one  hundred  and  fifty  years  before.  The 
pastor,  Rev.  S.  P.  Marvin,  in  his  review,  made  allusion  to  the 
prominent  position  of  Mrs.  Abigail  Sperry  in  the  early  days  of  the 
church. 

It  was  the  custom  then  to  rank  the  people  by  different  degrees 
of  social  standing  and  to  indicate  the  rank  of  each  by  the  seat 
given  them  in  the  meeting  house.  They  "dignified  "  the  pews  and 
then  "  dignified  "  the  people  to  correspond,  by  their  assignments. 
Most  of  these  were  arranged  by  a  committee.  But  at  Amity  the 
people  voted  for  one  person  to  have  the  first  rank  on  the  men's 
side  of  the  house,  and  another  in  like  manner  for  the  women's  side. 
This  vote  was  for  Mrs.  Abigail  Sperry  to  hold  the  seat  of  highest 
dignity  among  the  women. 

She  was  then  at  an  advanced  age,  being  seventy-two  years  old, 
and  this  testimonial  of  the  esteem  in  which  she  was  held  by  the 
community  must  have  been  a  graceful  tribute  to  a  worthy  life.

No  children. 

Dr,  Lyman'  Beecher  in  his  "  Autobiography "  speaks  of  his 
great-grandfather,  Joseph  Beecher,  as  a  man  "  of  great  muscular 
strength,"  and  of  his  grandfather,  Nathaniel  Beecher,  as  "  six  feet 
high,  and  a  blacksmith  by  trade,  having  his  anvil  on  the  stump  of 
the  old  oak  tree  under  which  Davenport  preached  the  first  sermon." 
He  says  also  of  his  grandmother,  Sarah  Beecher,  that  "she  was  a 
pious  woman,"  and  that  he  had  among  his  papers  a  curious  relic, 


LYMAN'   BEECHER   AND    HIS   FAMILY.  I99 

entitled  "  Sarah  Beecher,  her  experiences,"  in  which  she  mentions 
being  born  of  parents  who,  by  instruction  and  example,  taught  her 
to  serve  God."* 

He  says  of  his  father,  David^  Beecher,  that  "  he  was  short  like 
his  mother,  and  was  also  a  blacksmith,  working  on  the  same  anvil 
his  father  had  used  before  him.  He  was  one  of  the  best  read  men 
in  New  England,  interested  in  study,  discussion  and  politics,  and 
enjoyed  the  respect  of  educated  circles."  He  adds  that  "  his  own 
height  was  that  of  his  father,  five  feet  seven  and  a  half  inches,  and 
that  he  had  the  same  colored  hair,  eyes  and  complexion,"  though 
Dr.  Beecher  was  "a.  little  the  heavier." 

Of  his  mother,  Esther  Lyman,  he  speaks  as  "  of  a  joyous,  spark- 
ling, hopeful  temperament, — tall,  well  proportioned,  dignified  in 
her  movements,  fair  to  look  upon,  intelligent  in  conversation,  and 
in  character  lovely." 

It  does  not  require  profound  study  to  see  that  two  sharply  con- 
trasted types  are  here  united.  The  husband  is  strong  ;  the  wife  is 
lovely.  The  ancestral  traits  on  one  side  are  those  of  great  physi- 
cal vigor  ;  those  on  the  other  side  are  finer  and  more  ethereal. 
The  Lyman  family  has  been  prolific  in  scholars  and  thinkers.  A 
glance  at  the  Triennial  Catalogue  of  Yale  College  shows  this. 
The  same  is  true  of  the  Pomeroys  and  Hawleys.  From  these  three 
families  there  had  been  over  thirty  Yale  graduates,  while  from  the 
Beecher  and  Sperry  families  there  had  not  been  one,  till  Lyman 
Beecher  began  the  list. 

Again,  we  see  another  of  the  finer  type  in  Lyman  Beecher's 
wife,  Roxanna  Foote.  The  Footes,  Parsons,  Wards  and  Hubbards, 
from  whom  she  descended,  were  all  conspicuous  for  their  intellec- 

*  Dr.  Beecher  says  that  one  grandmother  of  David  Beecher  was  a  Roberts,  and  makes  her  the 
maternal  grandmother.  This  is  followed  in  "  A  Biography  0/  Rev.  Henry  Ward  Beecher.'''' 
But  New  Haven  records  indicate  that  she  was  the  wife  of  Joseph  Beecher  and  the  paternal 
grandmother.  Her  name  is  given  in  his  will  as  "  Lydia,"  and  in  a  deed  March  30,  1706,  as 
"  Lidiah."  William  Robard's  will,  July  25,  1689,  speaks  of  two  "daughters  Alls  and  Lydia" 
and  "three  daughters  already  married."  This  Lydia  Robards  would  have  been  of  suitable  age 
for  the  wife  of  Joseph  Beecher,  who,  according  to  the  dates  of  his  children's  births,  was  married 
probably  about  1693-4.  It  is  noticeable  that  his  oldest  child,  b.  Jan.  28,  1695,  was  named  "  AUis," 
and  his  next  daughter,  b.  Feb.  5,  1700-1,  d.  Feb.  23,  1725-6,  was  called  "  Lidiah." 

Dodd's  "  East  Haven  Register"  which  is  followed  by  Savage,  gives  to  William  and  Joanna 
Roberts  two  other  daughters,  "  Anna,  who  m.  Samuel  Butler  in  1712,  and  Abigail,"  but  these 
were  daughters  of  William  Roberts,  Jr.,  "Anna,  b.  Feb.  2,  1688,"  "  Abigail,  b.  June  29,  1696-7." 

"  William  Robarts  d.  Aug.  6,  i68g,  in  the  72nd  year  of  his  age." — Gravestone  at  Milford. 

Rev.  E.  E.  Atwater,  in  his  History  of  New  Haven  Colony.,  gives  John  Beecher  as  among  the 
seven  who  preceded  the  main  body  of  settlers,  and  thinks  he  was  the  one  who  died  during  the 
winter,  leaving  a  widow  Hannah  and  a  son  Isaac,  whose  names  occur  afterward.  Isaac  Beecher 
had  five  sons,  John,  Joseph,  Isaac,  Samuel  and  Eleazer,  of  whom  an  account  may  be  found  in  The 
Tuttle  Family,  p.  634.

tual  and  social  attainments  ;  and  they  continue  so  to  the  present 
time. 

His  second  wife  was,  also,  of  highly  educated  parents.  Her 
father,  Dr.  Aaron  Porter,  was  a  successful  physician  in  Portland, 
and  her  mother  was  a  daughter  of  Hon.  Richard  King,  of  Scar- 
borough, Maine,  whose  family  was  one  of  the  most  notable  of 
that  period. 

The  blending  of  such  diverse  hereditary  qualities  needs  to  be 
taken  into  view  in  the  study  of  such  a  man  as  Dr.  Beecher,  and  of 
his  remarkable  family.  Innumerable  other  things  enter  into  the 
making  up  of  a  life,  but  ancestry  is  one  thing,  and  by  no  means 
the  least. 

Lyman'  Beecher  was  a  puny  babe  and  barely  survived  his  birth. 
His  mother  died  when  he  was  two  days  old,  and  his  aunt,  the  wife 
of  Lot  Benton,  took  him  to  her  home  on  a  farm  at  North  Guilford, 
where  he  grew  up  like  a  farmer's  boy,  till  at  the  age  of  eighteen 
he  entered  Yale  College.  Here  he  pursued  theological  studies, 
under  President  Dwight,  as  a  part  of  his  college  course  and  was 
graduated  in  1797.  In  1799  he  was  ordained  pastor  of  the  Presby- 
terian Church  at  East  Hampton,  Long  Island,  with  a  salary  of 
^300.00,  which  was  increased  after  five  years  to  $400.00.  To  eke 
out  a  support  his  wife  opened  a  school,  in  which  he  also  gave  some 
instruction.  In  1806,  he  preached  a  sermon  on  Duelling,  occasioned 
by  the  death  of  Alexander  Hamilton,  which  was  repeated  before 
the  Presbytery  and  elsewhere,  till  it  awakened  a  wide  interest  and 
did  much  to  create  a  sentiment  that  ultimately  led  to  legislation 
against  this  evil. 

He  resigned  his  pastorate  in  1810,  and  was  installed  pastor  of 
the  Congregational  church  in  Litchfield,  Conn.,  where  he  continued 
sixteen  years,  and  took  rank  as  the  foremost  preacher  of  New 
England.  Here  he  delivered,  about  1812-14,  six  sermons  on 
Intemperance,  which  were  published  and  had  a  national  influence. 
He  took  the  lead  in  organizing  the  Bible  Society,  and  the  Mission- 
ary and  Education  Societies,  and  became  famous  for  his  eloquence, 
courage,  and  intellectual  power. 

Upon  the  rise  of  the  Unitarian  controversy,  he  took  his  position 
as  the  champion  of  conservative  theology,  and  in  1826  was  called 
to  the  Hanover  Street  Church  in  Boston  to  resist  the  movement  led 
by  Dr.  Channing.  He  threw  himself  into  this  struggle  with  ardor 
and  was  sustained  by  a  large  following. 


CATHERINE   E/   BEECHER.  20I 

The  importance  of  education  at  the  West  now  began  to  attract 
attention  and  he  was  singled  out  as  the  man  to  stand  at  the  front 
in  this  work.  In  1832  he  accepted  an  urgent  call  to  the  presidency 
of  Lane  Theological  Seminary,  near  Cincinnati,  a  position  which 
he  held  for  twenty  years,  and  in  which  he  was  nominally  con- 
tinued till  his  death.  For  the  first  ten  years,  he  was  also  pastor  of 
the  Second  Presbyterian  church  of  Cincinnati.  Soon  after  his 
coming  there  occurred  a  division  in  the  seminary  on  the  slavery 
question  and  a  strong  body  left  it  to  found  Oberlin  College.  This 
greatly  crippled  the  institution. 

In  1835  charges  of  heresy  were  brought  against  him  and  a  trial 
was  held  in  his  church  at  which  he  was  acquitted  ;  and  on  an 
appeal  to  the  general  synod  he  was  acquitted  again  ;  but  the  con- 
troversy thus  begun  went  on  till  the  Presbyterian  church  was 
divided  into  two  bodies,  the  Old  School  and  the  New  School. 

He  resigned  the  presidency  of  Lane  Seminary  in  1852,  and 
returned  to  Boston  for  a  little  time,  but  the  last  ten  years  of  his  life 
were  passed  at  Brooklyn,  in  a  house  of  his  own  on  Willow  Street. 

Dr.  Beecher  was  great  as  a  preacher.  He  usually  spoke  without 
manuscript,  but  out  of  a  mind  full  to  overflowing.  His  more 
famous  sermons  were  elaborated  with  extraordinary  care  before 
they  were  given  to  the  press.  "  He  stood  unequalled  for  dialectic 
keenness,  pungent  appeal,  lambent  wit,  vigor  of  thought  and 
concentrated  power  of  expression."  He  was  bold,  sincere,  spir- 
itual and  aggressive,  of  great  personal  magnetism  and  indomitable 
will,  a  natural  leader  of  men. 

Catherine  Esther'  Beecher,  as  the  eldest  child  in  the  family,  was 
early  inured  to  care  and  responsibility.  When  she  was  at  the  age 
of  sixteen  her  mother  died,  and  the  charge  of  the  household 
devolved  upon  her.  What  this  involved  in  a  minister's  house  of 
those  times,  and  with  seven  younger  brothers  and  sisters,  may  be 
imagined.  She  was  the  housekeeper  for  two  years,  until  her 
father's  second  marriage. 

At  the  age  of  twenty-two  a  great  sorrow  came  to  her  in  the 
death  of  Prof.  Alexander  M.  Fisher  of  Yale  College,  to  whom  she 
was  betrothed.  He  was  lost  in  a  shipwreck  on  a  voyage  to  Europe. 
She  never  married,  but  devoted  herself  to  a  life  of  earnest  activity. 

In  the  same  year,  1822,  she  opened  a  school  for  young  ladies  in 
Hartford,  and  was  so  successful  that  there  were  160  pupils.  She 
held  that  the  physical  and  moral  training  of  the  young  was  quite

as  important  as  any  part  of  their  education  ;  and  that  a  house- 
keeper is  responsible  for  the  health  of  all  in  her  family,  especially 
children  and  servants,  who  do  not  know  how  to  care  for  themselves. 
She  prepared  valuable  text-books  on  arithmetic,  theology  and 
mental  and  moral  philosophy. 

After  ten  years  in  Hartford,  she  went  with  her  father  to  Cincin- 
nati and  opened  a  ladies'  seminary  there,  which  she  discontinued 
after  two  years,  on  account  of  failing  health. 

She  then  entered  upon  an  undertaking  for  the  general  education 
of  women,  and  to  unite  American  women  in  an  effort  to  provide 
instruction  for  children  who  were  without  school  advantages. 
She  was  engaged  in  this  work  for  nearly  forty  years,  organizing 
societies  for  training  teachers,  devising  plans  to  supply  the  terri- 
tories with  good  educators,  writing,  pleading  and  traveling  with 
persistent  energy  and  earnestness.  She  made  her  field  of  labor 
especially  in  the  west  and  south  and  sought  the  aid  of  educated 
women  everywhere.  It  is  said  that  hundreds  of  the  best  teachers 
the  west  received  went  there  under  the  system  which  she  organized. 

She  was  the  author  of  a  large  number  of  books  on  domestic, 
educational  and  religious  subjects,  which  have  been  widely  read 
and  have  had  great  influence. 

William  Henry'  Beecher  was  educated  chiefly  at  home  ;  studied 
theology  with  his  father  and  at  Andover  Seminary.  In  1833  he 
received  the  honorary  degree  of  M.A.  from  Yale  College. 
Ordained  at  Newport,  R.  I.,  March  25,  1830,  he  held  pastorates  at 
Putnam  and  Zanesville,  Ohio,  Batavia,  N.  Y.,  Toledo,  Euclid,  and 
Chillicothe,  Ohio,  Reading  and  North  Brookfield,  Mass.,  and  after 
1870  lived  at  Chicago. 

Edward'  Beecher,  the  last  survivor  of  his  class  and  the  oldest 
living  graduate  of  the  college  before  his  death,  was  graduated  at 
Yale  in  1822.  For  two  years  after  graduation  he  taught  in  the 
Hartford  High  School ;  studied  for  less  than  a  year  at  Andover 
Theological  Seminary  ;  was  tutor  at  Yale,  and  left  this  office  to 
accept  the  pastorate  of  Park  Street  Congregational  Church, 
Boston,  where  he  was  ordained  Dec.  27,  1826.  He  was  dismissed 
from  this  pastorate  Oct.  28,  1830,  to  become  President  of  Illinois 
College  at  Jacksonville,  where  he  remained  for  over  thirteen  years. 
The  honorary  degree  of  D.D.  was  conferred  on  him  by  Marietta 
College  in  1841.  In  March,  1844,  he  returned  to  Boston,  as 
pastor  of  the  Salem  Street  Church,  which  he  served  until  Nov. 


MRS.    PERKINS   AND   GEORGE'   BEECHER.  203 

1855,  being  also  senior  editor  of  The  Congregationalist  from  1849  to 
1853.  From  1855  to  187 1,  he  was  pastor  of  the  First  Congrega- 
tional Church  of  Galesburg,  Ills.  In  1872,  he  removed  to  Brook- 
lyn, and  for  many  years  continued  active  in  editorial  and  evangel- 
istic work.  In  1885,  he  took  charge  of  a  small  Congregational 
Church  in  Parkville,  a  suburb  of  Brooklyn,  which  he  served  till  he 
was  disabled  in  1889.  He  was  a  man  of  deep  religious  experience 
and  ardent  love  to  Christ.  His  influence  upon  the  other  children, 
especially  his  sister  Harriet,  was  very  marked. 

Among  the  more  important  of  his  publications  were  The  Co7iflict 
of  Ages  (1853),  The  Concord  of  Ages  (i860)  and  a  Narrative  of  the 
Riots  at  Alton  (1837). 

One  of  his  sons  is  an  Episcopal  clergyman.  Rev.  F.  W.  Beecher 
of  Anglica,  and  another,  Eugene  F.  Beecher,  graduated  from  Yale 
in  1867. 

Mary'  Beecher,  who  married  Thomas  C.  Perkins,  Esq.,  a  lawyer 
of  Hartford,  was  a  noble,  lovely  woman  of  whom  her  father  said 
that  she  was  more  like  her  mother  Roxanna  Foote  than  any  other 
in  the  family. 

Her  son,  Frederick  Beecher*  Perkins,  is  an  author  of  note,  and 
has  performed  valuable  service  for  public  libraries.  He  has  held 
the  position  of  librarian  in  the  Connecticut  Historical  Society, 
the  Boston  Public  Library,  and  the  Free  Public  Library  of  San 
Francisco,  and  has  been  editorially  connected  with  various  papers 
and  magazines. 

Her  eldest  daughter  is  the  wife  of  Rev.  E.  E.  Hale,  D.D.,  of 
Boston,  a  philanthropist  and  author,  who  is  known  and  loved 
throughout  the  world.  Their  sons  are  all  graduates  of  Harvard 
University  and  are  men  of  rank,  and  their  daughter,  Ellen  Day* 
Hale,  is  an  artist  of  distinction. 

George'  Beecher  was  graduated  at  Yale  in  1828,  and  after  study- 
ing theology  was  ordained  to  the  gospel  ministry  in  the  Presbyte- 
rian church.  He  engaged  in  pastoral  work  at  Rochester,  N.  Y., 
and  afterwards  at  Chillicothe,  Ohio,  where  he  was  killed  by  the 
accidental  discharge  of  a  gun.  A  Memoir  of  George  Beecher  by  his 
sister  Catherine'  was  published  in  1844. 

His  son  George  Buckingham*  Beecher  was  graduated  from  Yale 
in  1 86 1,  and  was  pastor  for  a  time  of  the  Howe  Street  Congrega- 
tional Church  in  New  Haven.

204  HARRIET'   BEECHER   STOWE. 

Harriet  Elizabeth'  Beecher,  left  motherless  at  the  age  of  four,  was 
placed  under  her  grandmother's  care  at  Guilford,  till  after  her 
father's  second  marriage.  She  then  returned  to  her  home  and 
attended  Litchfield  Academy,  till  her  sister  opened  the  school  in 
Hartford,  when  she  became  a  pupil  there.  After  one  year,  and  at 
the  age  of  fourteen,  she  began  to  assist  in  the  course  of  instruction 
and  taught  a  class  in  Butler's  Analogy.  She  continued  here  as 
scholar  and  teacher  while  her  sister  remained  in  Hartford,  and 
then  went  with  her  to  Cincinnati  and  assisted  in  the  school  there. 
She  compiled  at  this  time  an  elementary  geography  for  a  western 
publisher,  wrote  lectures  for  her  classes  in  history  and  composed 
some  humorous  sketches  and  poems. 

She  frequently  visited  the  slave  states  and  acquired  the  knowl- 
edge of  southern  life  which  appears  in  her  subsequent  writings. 
Fugitive  slaves  were  sometimes  sheltered  in  her  house  and  helped 
by  her  husband,  Prof.  Stowe,  and  her  brothers  to  escape  to  Canada. 
During  the  riots  in  1836,  when  James  G.  Birney's  press  was 
destroyed,  they  were  exposed  to  no  little  danger,  and  many  a 
night  Mrs.  Stowe  sank  into  uneasy  slumber,  expecting  to  be 
roused  by  a  mob  led  by  the  agents  of  exasperated  slave-holders. 

In  1850,  her  husband  was  called  from  his  professorship  at  Lane 
Seminary  to  a  chair  in  Bowdoin  College,  which  led  to  their 
removal  to  Brunswick,  Maine.  The  excitement  caused  by  the 
enactment  of  the  fugitive  slave  law  was  now  at  its  height,  and  she 
entered  into  it  with  intense  earnestness.  It  seemed  to  her  as  if 
slavery  was  about  to  be  extended  over  the  free  states.  Conversing 
with  many  benevolent,  tender-hearted  Christian  men  and  women, 
she  found  that  they  did  not  sympathize  with  her  views  and  were 
unmoved  by  her  arguments.  She  concluded  that  it  was  because 
they  did  not  realize  what  slavery  meant. 

She  determined  to  make  them  realize  it,  and  wrote  Uncle  Tom's 
Cabin,  which  was  published  in  185 1-2.  Within  five  years,  500,000 
copies  were  sold  in  the  United  States,  and  it  has  been  translated 
into  some  twenty  foreign  languages.  "  The  world  knows  the 
story  of  the  wonderful  book — how  it  aroused  the  North,  England, 
the  civilized  world,  to  the  possible  horrors  of  American  slavery, 
made  the  enforcement  of  the  Fugitive  Slave  Law  an  impossibility, 
and  stirred  tens  of  thousands  of  growing  youth  and  stalwart  men 
to  such  depths  that  Kansas,  Fremont  and  the  Repiiblican  party, 
John  Brown,  Abraham  Lincoln,  and  Emancipation  followed  in 
quick  succession.     Not  that  the  book  did  it  all,  but  that  it  was  the

solvent  of  genius  that  precipitated  the  gathering  Anti-Slavery 
sentiment  and  made  it  visible,  ponderable,  effective."  Mrs.  Stowe 
was  once  complimented  by  a  neighbor  on  being  the  author  of 
*  Uncle  Tom's  Cabin,'  and  she  replied  '  I  did  not  write  it,'  *  You 
didn't !  who  did,  then  ? '  was  the  surprised  ejaculation.  *  God  wrote 
it,'  she  continued,  'I  merely  did  his  dictation.' 

This  was  the  beginning  of  her  literary  success  ;  and  the  position 
of  power  thus  acquired  was  sustained  by  a  multitude  of  other 
productions.  Among  these  are  '^Dred,"  ^^  Old  Town  Folks"  '■^  The 
Minister's  Wooing"  "  Little  Pussy  Willows,"  "  House  and  Home 
Papers,"  '■''Men  of  our  Times,"  and  many  more  with  which  the 
public  is  familiar.  She  is  also  author  of  three  hymns  in  the 
Plymouth  Collection,  Numbers  675,  676  and  677,  set  to  a  tune 
composed  by  her  brother.  Rev.  Charles  Beecher. 

Her  heart  has  ever  warmed  toward  the  neglected  and  the  lowly. 
In  recent  years,  when  passing  the  winter  at  Mandarin,  Florida,  she 
won  her  way  to  the  love  of  the  negroes  there,  and  gave  to  some  of 
them  their  first  lessons  in  reading.  These,  with  multitudes  the 
world  over,  cherish  her  name  in  grateful  remembrance. 

Her  husband,  Prof.  Stowe,  was  a  graduate  of  Bowdoin  College, 
in  1824,  studied  theology  at  Andover,  with  the  class  of  1828  ; 
Professor  of  Greek  at  Dartmouth,  1830-32,  of  Sacred  Literature  at 
Lane  Seminary,  1832-36,  at  Bowdoin,  1850-52,  and  at  Andover, 
1852-64;  editor  of  The  Boston  Recorder,  1828,  and  author  of  many 
theological  and  religious  publications. 

Mrs.  Stowe  passed  her  last  years  in  her  pleasant  home  at  Hartford. 
Her  life  has  been  written  and  published  by  her  son.  Rev.  Charles  E.* 
Stowe,  who  is  pastor  of  the  Congregational  Church  of  Simsbury, 
Conn. 

Henry  Ward'  Beecher  had  a  strong  desire  when  a  boy  to  become 
a  sailor,  but,  with  the  kindling  of  his  religious  life,  entered  into 
his  father's  aspirations  for  him  and  chose  the  calling  of  a  minister. 
He  attended  the  Boston  Latin  School,  and  Mount  Pleasant  Insti- 
tute, at  Amherst,  Mass  ;  was  graduated  at  Amherst  College  in 
1834,  and  studied  theology  at  Lane  Seminary. 

His  first  pastorate  was  with  the  Presbyterian  church  at  Lawrence- 
burg,  Indiana,  1837-39,  after  which  he  accepted  a  call  to  the  Pres- 
byterian Church  in  Indianapolis,  where  he  remained  till  1847.  He 
then  became  pastor  of  the  newly  organized  Plymouth  Church  of 
Brooklyn,  N.  Y.,  with  which  he  continued  to  the  end  of  his  life,  a 


206  HENRY   WARD   BEECHER'S   LIFE   WORK. 

period  of  forty  years.  After  1859,  his  sermons,  reported  by  stenog- 
raphers, were  regularly  published,  and  thus  reached  a  multitude 
of  readers,  besides  the  congregation. 

He  early  became  prominent  as  a  platform  speaker  and  lecturer, 
and  brought  his  great  powers  of  oratory  to  the  discussion  of 
political  and  practical  topics  in  such  a  way  as  to  command  the 
convictions  of  those  who  heard  him. 

He  identified  himself  ardently  with  the  anti-slavery  movement, 
and  with  the  Republican  party,  preaching  political  sermons  and 
taking  an  active  part  in  political  meetings.  Especially  in  the 
campaign  of  1856,  he  was  active  with  his  pen,  and  addressed  mass 
meetings  throughout  the  northern  states. 

In  the  darkest  days  of  the  war,  in  1863,  when  British  sentiment 
was  largely  with  the  cotton  states  and  it  seemed  likely  that  the 
confederacy  would  be  recognized,  he  visited  Europe  and  addressed 
large  audiences  in  the  chief  cities  of  Great  Britain,  with  a  view  to 
enlighten  popular  opinion  and  remove  misconceptions.  These 
speeches  were  published  in  London  and  had  great  influence  in 
changing  the  prevailing  sentiment  concerning  the  issues  in 
America. 

In  187 1  one  of  his  parishioners,  Mr.  Henry  W.  Sage,  founded 
"  The  Lyman  Beecher  Lectureship,"  in  Yale  Divinity  School,  and 
Mr.  Beecher  gave  the  courses  of  lectures  for  the  first  three  years. 

In  1874  occurred  the  trial,  which  attracted  wide  and  painful 
attention.  Through  this  trial  and  after  it  Mr.  Beecher  held  on  his 
course  as  pastor  and  preacher  with  unflagging  energy  and  unin- 
terrupted power,  an  achievement  wholly  without  parallel. 

Editorial  work  has  been  a  prominent  feature  of  his  career.  In 
1836,  while  in  his  theological  course,  he  edited  The  Cincinnati 
Journal:  during  his  pastorate  at  Indianapolis,  an  agricultural 
journal.  The  Farmer  and  Gardener  j  later  at  Brooklyn,  The 
Independent  of  New  York,  1861-63  ;  and  finally  after  1870  The 
Christian  Union,  which  soon  became  one  of  the  most  influential 
periodicals  of  the  country,  and  still  continues  its  leadership  under 
the  name  of  The  Outlook. 

The  publications  from  his  pen  have  been  many  and  various. 
But  these  are  so  well  known  that  it  is  needless  to  name  them. 

His  wife,  Mrs.  Eunice  W.  Beecher,  has  been  his  efficient  and 
sympathetic  companion  in  the  varied  experiences  of  his  eventful 
life,  and  herself  has  written  and  published  not  a  little  of  value. 
She  survives  him  and  contributes  still  to  the  press. 


CHARLES'   AND   THOMAS   K/   BEECHER.  207 

Of  their  ten  children  only  four  are  living,  three  sons,  William  C.*, 
Herbert',  and  Henry*,  and  a  daughter,  Harriet  E.*,  who  is  the  wife 
of  Rev.  Samuel  Scoville,  of  Stamford,  Conn.  , 

The  Life  of  Henry  Ward  Beecher  has  been  written  by  Dr. 
Lyman  Abbott,  and  also  by  members  of  his  own  family. 

Charles'  Beecher  studied  at  the  Boston  Latin  School  and  at 
Lawrence  Academy,  Groton,  Mass.  ;  graduated  at  Bowdoin  Col- 
lege, 1834,  and  studied  theology  at  Lane  Seminary.  Ordained 
pastor  of  the  Second  Presbyterian  Church  at  Fort  Wayne,  Indiana, 
1844,  where  he  remained  till  185 1  ;  pastor  of  the  First  Congrega- 
tional Church  of  Newark,  N.  J.,  1851-54;  pastor  First  Congrega- 
tional Church  of  Georgetown,  Mass.,  1857.  He  was  in  Florida 
from  1870  to  1877,  and  for  two  years  was  State  Superintendent  of 
Public  Instruction.  Later  he  was  acting  pastor  at  Wysox,  Penn- 
sylvania. He  is  a  musician  and  was  organist  of  the  First  Presby- 
terian Church  of  New  Orleans  for  Rev.  Dr.  Breckenridge,  and  at 
Indianapolis  for  Rev.  Henry  Ward  Beecher.  He  selected  the 
music  for  '■'■Plymouth  Collection"  and  is  author  of  the  hymn  begin- 
ning 

"  We  are  on  our  journey  home 
Where  Christ  our  Lord  is  gone." 

He  has  published  a  number  of  books,  "  The  Autobiography  and 
Correspondence  of  Lyman  Beecher^^  "  Redeemer  and  Redeemed"  ^^Eden 
Tableau,"  '"''  Patonos  or  The  Unveiling." 

His  son,  Frederick  Henry*  Beecher,  was  born  at  New  Orleans, 
La.,  June  22,  1841,  and  died  Sep.  17,  1868,  on  the  upper  Republican 
river,  Kansas.  Graduated  at  Bowdoin  College  in  1862,  he  imme- 
diately enlisted  in  the  army.  He  became  successively,  Sergeant, 
Second  Lieutenant  and  First  Lieutenant,  and  was  in  the  battles  of 
the  Army  of  the  Potomac,  from  Fredericksburg  to  Gettysburg. 
He  was  twice  severely  wounded,  but  could  not  be  persuaded  to 
remain  away  from  his  command.  He  was  commissioned  in  the 
regular  army  in  1864,  and  made  First  Lieutenant  in  July,  1866. 
He  served  with  distinction  on  the  western  border  and  was  killed 
by  the  Indians  while  scouting. 

Thomas  Kinnicut'  Beecher  was  graduated  at  Illinois  College 
in  1843  ;  principal  of  the  Northeast  Grammar  School  in  Philadel- 
phia, 1846-8,  and  then  principal  of  the  Hartford  High  School.  In 
1852  he  gathered  The  New  England  Congregational  Church  in 


208  MRS.   HOOKER   AND   JAMES   C'   BEECHER. 

Williamsburg,  now  a  part  of  Brooklyn,  N.  Y.,  and  became  its 
pastor.  In  1854  he  removed  to  Elmira,  N.  Y.,  to  become  pastor 
of  the  Independent  Congregational  Church,  afterwards  the  Park 
Church  of  that  city,  and  has  continued  in  this  position  till  the 
present  time,  1896. 

For  many  years  he  edited  a  weekly  "  Miscellany"  first  in  the 
Elmira  "  Advertiser  "  and  afterward  in  the  "  Gazette"  discussing,  as 
they  came  up,  the  current  questions  of  the  day.  He  was  Chaplain 
of  the  141st  Reg.  N.  Y.  Vols,  in  1863,  and  served  with  the  army  of 
the  Potomac  four  months.  He  is  known  as  an  influential  speaker 
and  writer  and  is  distinguished  for  his  broad,  unsectarian  and 
philanthropic  spirit. 

Isabella'^  Beecher  was  educated  in  her  sister  Catherine's  schools 
at  Hartford  and  Cincinnati,  and  has  been  a  diligent  student  of 
social,  political  and  religious  questions.  She  is  well  known  in 
Women's  Clubs,  in  meetings  of  many  philanthropic  societies  and 
among  the  advocates  of  woman's  rights.  She  has  published 
"  Womanhood^  its  Sanctities  and  Fidelities."  Her  home  is  in  Hartford, 
Conn.,  where  her  son,  Edward  B.*  Hooker,  M.D.,  is  a  practicing 
physician. 

James  Chaplin''  Beecher  was  graduated  at  Dartmouth  College 
in  1848,  and  studied  theology  at  Andover.  He  was  ordained,  May 
10,  1856,  a  Congregational  minister,  and  until  1861,  was  Chaplain 
of  the  Seaman's  Bethel  in  Canton  and  Hong  Kong,  China.  Dur- 
ing the  war  he  was  Chaplain  of  the  ist  Reg.  N.  Y.  Infantry,  1861- 
62  ;  Lieut.  Colonel  of  the  141st,  1862-63  ;  Colonel  of  the  35th, 
U.  S.  Colored  Troops,  1863-66;  and  was  mustered  out  of  service 
in  1866,  as  Brevet  Brigadier  General.  Later  he  held  pastorates 
in  Owego,  N.  Y.,  1867-70,  in  Poughkeepsie,  1871-73,  and  in 
Brooklyn,  1881-82. 

Brothers  and  sisters  may  have  marked  individuality,  but  certain 
traits  will  usually  appear  in  which  they  are  much  alike.  This  is  to 
be  seen  in  the  sons  and  daughters  of  Dr.  Lyman'  Beecher.  Under- 
lying their  personal  qualities  were  the  qualities  of  the  family. 
Home  training,  parentage  and  ancestry  brought  to  them  an  inheri- 
tance which  they  had  in  common. 

As  a  groundwork  for  everything  else  there  was  abounding 
vitality.  Notice  the  age  to  which  they  lived.  Of  the  eleven 
children  who  survived  infancy,  nine  retained  an  almost  youthful 


THE   BEECHER   HOME.  209 

vigor  in  advanced  life,  and  most  of  them  left  far  behind  the 
boundary  line  of  seventy,  while  the  two  who  died  earlier  were  cut 
off  by  a  violent  death.  Their  father  died  at  the  age  of  87,  and 
had  a  like  reserve  of  physical  strength.  His  grandparents, 
Nathaniel  and  Sarah^  Beecher,  likewise  lived  to  a  great  age,  as  did 
Ebenezer  and  Abigail'  Sperry  before  them. 

Another  family  trait  was  the  aptitude  for  grasping  unseen  things 
and  living  as  in  their  presence.  Besides  the  vision  of  the  senses 
they  had  the  vision  of  spiritual  understanding  and  dwelt  as  in  a 
spiritual  universe.  This  was  the  habit  of  their  early  home.  It 
was  in  the  atmosphere  there,  and  it  abode  with  them  in  later  life. 

Paul  wrote  to  Timothy,  "  I  call  to  remembrance  the  unfeigned 
faith  that  is  in  thee,  which  dwelt  first  in  thy  grandmother  Lois, 
and  thy  mother  Eunice."  So  in  this  family  there  was  an  inheri- 
tance of  faith  which  made  its  members  rich  in  susceptibility  to 
moral  and  religious  truth. 

Again,  they  were  profoundly  humane.  They  loved  mankind, 
especially  those  who  needed  them  and  whom  they  could  help. 
The  motive  of  benefiting  men  and  society  was  what  made  them 
preachers,  authors  and  agitators. 

They  worked  in  lowly  places  before  they  stood  on  the  heights 
of  power.  They  bore  poverty,  and  struggled  with  bitter  opposi- 
tion for  courageous  years,  with  no  thought  of  the  fame  that  awaited 
them.  And  this  they  did  because  they  placed  human  values  above 
all  other  values. 

Whence  came  such  a  conception  of  life  ?  Their  parents  had  the 
same.  It  was  the  conception  which  ruled  in  their  home,  and 
under  whose  inspiration  each  child  grew  up  and  was  molded  in 
all  his  aims  and  purposes. 

One  will  need  to  look  far  to  find  such  a  tribute  to  the  influence 
of  home  training  as  appears  in  sons  and  daughters  like  these.

CHAPTER    X. 


Abraham'  Dickerman  Junior. 

"  Consider  whether  we  ought  not  to  be  more  in  the  habit  of  seeking  honor 
from  our  descendants  than  our  ancestors  ;  thinking  it  better  to  be  nobly  remem- 
bered than  nobly  born," 

— John  Ruskin. 

New  Haven  colony  was  fifty  years  old  when  the  Stuarts  were 
driven  from  England  and  William  and  Mary  established  on  the 
throne.  The  occasion  was  one  of  great  rejoicing  throughout  New 
England.  The  oppressions  of  one  Stuart  had  caused  the  settlers 
to  come  hither,  and  the  overthrow  of  another  seemed  a  triumph  of 
Puritan  principles. 

The  immediate  consequence,  however,  was  seven  years  of  war 
with  Canadians  and  Indians.  This  brought  insecurity,  anxiety 
and  impoverishment ;  but  at  the  same  time,  better  military  organiza- 
tion, clearer  political  ideas  and  a  growing  sense  of  the  mission  the 
colonies  had  to  fulfill  in  this  new  world. 

During  this  period  the  two  sons  of  Abraham'  Dickerman  grew 
from  boyhood  to  manhood.  Their  father  was  Lieutenant  of 
militia  ;  an  officer  of  the  town,  and  Representative  in  the  legisla- 
ture. Questions  of  grave  importance  must  have  been  constantly 
under  discussion  in  that  house.  The  boys  listened,  bore  their 
part,  no  doubt,  and  so  learned  the  lessons  of  citizenship. 

The  older  son,  Abraham^  Dickerman,  Jr.,  was  Sergeant  of  militia 
as  early  as  1710;  later  Lieutenant  for  a  number  of  years;  and 
then  in  1722  was  chosen  Captain  ;  though  he  seems  not  to  have 
held  a  captain's  commission  nor  to  have  been  called  by  that  title. 

He  also  held  the  office  of  Townsman  in  17 10,  and  for  five  other 
terms,  the  last  of  which  was  in  1729. 

There  are  indications,  however,  that  he  had  less  taste  for  public 
office  than  his  father  had  shown,  and  less  than  appeared  in  his 
brother.  Probably  the  care  of  his  own  affairs  and  of  his  family 
gave  him  more  satisfaction. 

A  proof  of  his  enterprise  appears  on  the  records,  Dec.  27,  i6gy. 

"  Samuel  Bishop,  James  Bishop,  Abraham  Dickerman  Junior,  John  Bradley 
and  Samuel  Mix,  propounded  that  the  Town  would  grant  them  liberty  to  take 


ABRAHAM*   DICKERMAN   JUNIOR.  211 

in  and  improve  about  25  or  30  acres  of  the  Town's  land  for  8  years,  and  then  the 
land  be  at  the  Town's  dispose." 

This  was  less  than  a  month  before  his  marriage  and  shows  that 
he  was  giving  due  thought  to  the  question  of  how  to  support  a 
wife.  We  find  a  deed  drawn  Feb.  14,  1697-8,  less  than  a  month 
after  his  marriage,  which  also  may  have  helped  somewhat  to  the 
answer.  It  is  from  Mrs.  Jane  Gregson,  the  aged  widow  of  Thomas 
Gregson,  one  of  the  wealthiest  of  the  original  planters,  who  was 
lost  in  1646  in  the  great  ship.  Elizabeth  Glover,  the  young  wife, 
was  her  great  grand-daughter,  and  she  testified  to  her  approval  of 
the  match  by  a  handsome  gift,  consisting  of  "  nine  acres  of  land 
in  the  necke." 

In  Joseph  Brown's  map,  drawn  in  1724,  there  are  two  houses 
marked  with  the  name  of  Abraham  Dickerman.  One  of  these  was 
on  the  east  side  of  Church  street,  a  few  rods  north  of  Elm  street, 
and  next  to  the  old  homestead.  The  other  was  on  Grove  street 
looking  down  Church  street.  Probably  one  of  these  was  occupied 
by  the  oldest  son  of  Abraham'  Dickerman  Junior,  Abraham*  Dick- 
erman, Third. 

The  will  and  inventory  of  his  estate,  which  are  given  below, 
show  that  he  was  prosperous  in  business  and  accumulated  a 
property  which  was  large  for  those  times,  ;^3i77.  us.  6d.  or 
$15,379.64.  Most  of  this  property  was  in  real  estate,  embracing 
some  twenty-five  tracts  of  land,  amounting  to  about  180  acres, 
most  of  which  was  in  New  Haven,  or  in  the  immediate  vicinity. 

The  will  was  offered  for  probate  the  first  Monday  in  July,  1748, 
and  John  Hubbard  was  appointed  administrator.  He  declined  to 
serve  and  Samuel  Horton  was  then  appointed.

It  appears  from  the  will  that  most  of  this  estate  went  to  the  only- 
surviving  son,  Joseph^,  and  to  the  grandson,  John',  whose  father, 
Abraham*,  had  died  five  years  before.  These  each  received  shares 
valued  at  some  ^1300,  while  the  portions  of  two  of  the  daughters 
were  about  ;^9o  apiece,  and  of  the  other  two  about  ^jo.  This 
was  in  accordance  with  the  custom  of  those  times,  which  usually- 
made  sons  the  chief  legatees.

Nathaniel  and  Mary  Sperry,  his  wife,  late  of  New  Haven,  now  of  Cornwall  in

The  law  of  those  times  gave  to  the  eldest  son  a  double  share, 
and  to  each  of  the  other  children  a  single  share,  of  an  estate,  while

the  widow  had  the  use  of  a  third  of  the  property,  during  her  life. 
The  property  here  referred  to  was  evidently  from  the  estate  of 
Abraham*  Dickerman  Third.  The  deed  of  Elizabeth  Dickerman 
was  given  soon  after  she  reached  the  age  of  twenty-one,  and  shows 
that  she  was  unmarried  at  that  time.

Notes  on  the  Todds  in  The  Tuttle  Family,  p.  dpS,  say  the  name 
is  an  old  Scottish  term  for  fox,  which  explains  the  use  of  that  ani- 
mal in  the  family  arms.     William  Todd,  ancestor  of  the  Connecti-

cut  family,  lived  in  Pomfret,  York  Co.,  England.  His  son, 
"  Christopher  Todd,  was  born  at  Pontefract,  England,  bap.  Jan. 
II,  1617.  He  was  at  New  Haven  1639  :  miller,  farmer  and  baker. 
In  1650  he  bought  of  Joseph  Crane  the  lot  on  Elm  street,  between 
Orange  and  Church  streets,  afterwards  called  the  Blue  meeting- 
house lot,  on  a  part  of  which  St.  Thomas  Church  stands.  He  first 
hired,  then  bought,  a  grist  mill,  erected  by  the  town  where  Whit- 
ney's gun  factory  now  stands,  and  long  known  as  Todd's  mill." 

Michael  Todd's  house  was  on  the  north  side  of  Elm  street,  the 
next  but  one  to  Isaac  Dickerman's,  that  of  Rev.  Mr.  Noyes  stand- 
ing between.  In  his  will  he  appoints  his  friend,  John  Hubbard, 
to  be  an  executor  of  the  estate,  with  his  wife  Mary,  and  makes 
provision  for  his  two  sons  going  through  college.  The  inventory 
of  the  estate  was  presented,  Jan.  5,  1745,  by  John  Hubbard  and 
Mary  Todd  and  shows  a  valuation  of  ;^7o28.  i  s.  4  d.  The  two 
seem  to  have  found  so  much  pleasure  in  each  other's  society  in 
the  settlement  of  the  estate  that  they  concluded  to  go  on  together 
in  the  care  of  it,  and  so  were  married  not  many  months  later. 

MichaeP  Todd,  Jr.,  carried  out  his  father's  desires  in  graduating 
from  Yale  in  1748.  He  then  became  an  extensive  merchant  in 
New  Haven.  His  estate  was  inventoried  at  _;!^2o83.  In  his  will 
he  appoints  his  son  Michael  executor  and  "  guardian  of  the  three 
youngest  children." 

"Eli'  Todd,  after  his  graduation  in  1787,  sailed  for  the  West 
Indies,  intending  to  travel  in  Europe  and  Asia,  but  was  prevented 
by  sickness  at  Trinidad.  Having  lost  the  fortune  left  him  by  his 
father,  he  entered  on  a  course  of  study  for  the  medical  profession, 
and  in  due  time  began  practice  in  Farmington,  Conn.  He 
removed  to  New  York  about  1810,  but  returned  to  Farmington 
and  remained  there  until  1819,  when  he  went  to  Hartford  and 
soon  became  the  chief  consulting  physician  in  that  city. 

At  about  this  time  there  was  observed  a  marked  increase  in  the 
number  of  insane  persons  in  that  region,  and  seeing  the  difficulty 
of  treating  them  in  private  practice  he  called  the  attention  of  the 
profession  and  the  public  to  the  necessity  of  having  a  special 
institution  for  their  care.  He  was  principally  instrumental  in 
founding  the  Retreat  for  the  Insane  at  Hartford,  one  of  the  ear- 
liest of  its  kind,  was  elected  its  superintendent  and  presided  over 


JOHN  HUBBARD'S  FAMILY.  219 

it  till  his  death.     Under  him  it  became  one  of  the  best  managed 
institutions  in  this  country  or  Europe. 

Dr.  Todd  was  repeatedly  elected  president  and  vice-president  of 
the  Medical  Society  of  Connecticut  and  was  the  author  of  several 
professional  monographs,  and  some  occasional  addresses." 

Hon.  Samuel  Chandler  Crafts,  who  married  Eunice'  Todd,  was 
a  graduate  of  Harvard  in  1790  and  his  father  was  of  Yale  in  1759. 
He,  with  his  father,  went  to  Vermont  in  the  fall  of  1790  and  set- 
tled in  the  place  which  has  since  borne  their  name,  Craftsbury. 

On  the  organization  of  the  community  he  was  chosen  Town 
Clerk,  in  1792,  and  from  this  time  was  continuously  in  public  life 
for  more  than  fifty  years,  "filling  every  office  within  the  gift  of 
the  people  of  Vermont — Representative,  Judge,  Governor,  Con- 
gressman and  United  States  Senator.

(Glover)  Dickerman.  m.  (2)  Sep.  13,  1745,  John*  Hubbard,  son  of 
John'  and  Mabel  (Russell)  Hubbard  (John"  William'),  b.  Nov.  30, 
1703,  at  Jamaica,  L.  I.,  d.  Oct.  29,  1773,  at  New  Haven. 

He  was  Judge  of  Probate  and  also  of  the  Court  of  Common 
Pleas,  a  Representative  in  the  Legislature,  Captain  and  Lieu- 
tenant Colonel  of  militia.  In  1730  Yale  conferred  on  him  the 
honorary  degree  of  Master  of  Arts  "  for  his  eminent  attainments 
in  the  Latin  and  Greek  languages,  as  well  as  in  philosophy,  medi- 
cine, poetry  and  belles  lettres." 

His  first  wife,  Elizabeth,  according  to  Prof.  Dexter,  was  a 
Stevens  of  Killingworth,  to  whom  he  was  married  Aug.  30,  1724. 
His  second  marriage  is  recorded  in  the  New  Haven  archives,  as 
follows  : 

"  Mr.  John  Hubbard  &  Mrs.  Mary  Todd,  Both  of  New  Haven 
were  Joyned  in  marriage  to  each  other  September  13th,  Anno 
Domini  1745,  by  ye  Rev''  Mr.  Joseph  Noyes,  Minister  of  ye  first 
Society  in  New  Haven." 

The  inscription  on  her  gravestone  is  "  Mrs.  Mary  Hubbard 
Late  Faithful  Consort  of  Li^^u'^.  Col^^  John  Hubbard  Deceased 
ye  2"*^  Nov"'  A.  D.  1760,  M.  56." 

"  He  next  married  Nov.  10,  1761,  Mrs.  Mary  Stevens  who  died 
April  28,  1794,  aet.  76."

His  children  were  by  the  first  marriage,  with  the  exception  of 
Amelia,  whose  birth  is  given  in  the  Hubbard  Genealogy  as  in  1753, 
which  makes  her  the  daughter  of  Mary*  Dickerman.  She  is  said 
to  have  married  Hezekiah  Silliman  and  had  a  large  family  of 
children. 

Some  published  records  represent  Stephen  Whitehead  Hubbard 
as  a  son  of  Dr.  John  Hubbard.  This  is  an  error.  He  was  a 
grandson,  b.  Jan.  16,  1747,  and  his  father  was  Leverett  Hubbard. 

The  family  is  as  follows  :

CHAPTER   XL 


JOHN'  DICKERMAN,  THE  VERMONT   PIONEER. 

"  Oft  did  the  harvest  to  their  sickle  yield, 

Their  furrow  oft  the  stubborn  glebe  has  broke  ; 
How  jocund  did  they  drive  their  team  afield  ! 

How  bowed  the  woods  beneath  their  sturdy  stroke." 

— Grays  Elegy. 

Allusion  was  made,  in  a  previous  chapter,  to  the  causes  which 
led  to  the  settlement  of  Vermont,  page  52.  Attention  was  also 
called  to  the  immigration  thither  from  New  Haven,  in  which  the 
family  of  Abraham  Dickerman  was  represented. 

It  would  be  interesting  if  we  could  know  how  the  thoughts  of 
John'  Dickerman  were  first  turned  to  this  new  country,  and  could 
trace  the  particular  steps  which  led  him  to  transfer  his  family 
thither. 

He  was  just  coming  of  age  when  the  ample  estate  from  his 
grandfather  came  into  his  possession.  Four  years  later  he  mar- 
ried, and  three  children,  one  after  another,  were  born  in  his  New 
Haven  home.  His  kinsfolk  were  among  the  wealthy  and  influen- 
tial of  the  place,  and  the  community,  with  its  grammar  school  and 
college  and  cultivated  people,  offered  rare  advantages  for  a  young 
man  with  a  wife  and  growing  family. 

We  may  well  wonder  what  could  have  led  him  to  forsake  all 
this  for  the  privations  of  the  frontier. 

There  are  evidences  that  the  removal  was  not  a  sudden  one. 
His  son  John'  is  understood  to  have  been  born  in  Vermont, 
March  17,  1764.  This  is  the  account  handed  down  in  the  family. 
The  last  of  his  children  whose  birth  is  recorded  in  New  Haven 
was  Esther",  b.  July  5,  1759.  The  place  of  William's*  birth  is  not 
given.  This  indicates  that  John'  Dickerman  and  his  wife  went  to 
Vermont  as  early  as  1763  or  1764. 

But  there  are  proofs  of  his  continued  residence  in  New  Haven 
till  a  time  as  late  as  1777,  so  that,  if  his  son  John  was  born  in  Ver- 
mont, it  must  have  been  during  a  temporary  sojourn.  This  view 
may  be  supported  by  the  lack  of  information  concerning  the  pre- 
cise place  of  his  birth.     There  is  a  difficulty,  however,  even  in  this

ELY*   DICKERMAN.  233 

There  were  three  years  between  Sep.  10,  1763,  and  Sep.  6,  1766, 
during  which  he  and  his  wife  might  have  been  in  Vermont  for 
a  while,  excepting  in  the  spring  of  1764,  which  suggests  the  ques- 
tion whether  the  date  of  the  birth  of  their  son  John'  may  not  be  in 
error. 

There  is  another  longer  period  of  six  years  between  April  17, 
1771,  and  March  10,  1777,  in  which  we  find  no  transfer  of  prop- 
erty ;  but  at  the  end  of  this  time  he  speaks  of  "  the  farm  where  he 
now  dwells,"  which  indicates  that  his  home  in  New  Haven  had 
been  kept  until  now,  whatever  may  have  been  his  connections 
with  a  new  settlement  in  Vermont. 

It  is  quite  conceivable  that  his  mother  and  sister  Elizabeth  may 
have  occupied  the  New  Haven  home  and  had  part  of  his  children 
with  them,  while  he  spent  considerable  time  in  Vermont  and 
sometimes  had  his  wife  with  him.  This  would  account  for  the 
son's  learning  the  blacksmith's  trade  in  New  Haven. 

He  sold  the  last  of  his  real  estate  there  in  1777,  during  the  war 
of  the  Revolution,  but  after  this  the  family  kept  up  their  relations 
with  New  Haven  and  some  of  the  children  made  their  home  there. 
This  would  have  been  natural  because  that  New  Haven  must  long 
have  continued  to  be  the  base  of  supplies  for  the  pioneers,  with 
constant  travel  and  intercommunication  back  and  forth. 

A  letter  from  one  of  the  older  members  of  this  family  contains 
interesting  reminiscences  of  early  times  : 

West  Derby,  Vt.,  April  5,  1896. 
Dear  Sir  : 

I  received  your  communication  and  will  try  and  tell  you  what  little  I  know  of 
John  and  Ely  Dickerman.  I  can  just  remember  my  great  grandfather  John 
Dickerman  as  a  very  aged  man.  I  lived  in  grandfather  Ely  Dickerman's  family 
twent)'  years  and  what  I  have  to  relate  was  told  to  me  by  my  grandparents. 

John  Dickerman  lived  in  Connecticut  and  owned  the  land  on  which  the  city  of 
New-Haven  now  stands.*  But  having  a  family  of  boys  and  thinking  his  farm 
not  large  enough,  he  sold  it  and  came  up  to  Brattleboro,  Vermont,  to  invest  his 
money  in  wild  land  for  himself  and  boys,  but  before  he  had  purchased  any 
more  than  a  farm  for  himself  the  money  went  down,  (It  was  continental  money), 
so  fifty  dollars  would  not  buy  a  mug  of  flip. 

He  lived  at  Brattleboro  until  after  Ely  was  married  to  Dolly  McAlpine.  They 
then  thought  they  would  go  still  further  north  and  take  up  another  lot  of  wild

♦  One  who  is  familiar  with  the  history  of  New  Haven  may  smile  at  the  thought  of  any  one 
man's  "  owning  the  land  on  which  it  now  stands  "  in  1776  ;  but  John  Dickerman  did  inherit  from 
his  grandfather  real  estate  which  is  now  of  immense  value.  A  part  of  this  was  ground  now 
covered  by  the  Sheffield  Scientific  School,  if  the  "  Plan  0/  1S48''  is  correct."

year,  about  1795  or  1796.     They  were  delighted  with  the  country,  bought  a  farm, 
and  the  next  winter  moved  up  from  Brattleboro  on  an  ox  sled. 

Nancy,  my  mother,  was  then  six  months  old  and  Jerry  two  or  three  years  old. 

They  went  into  a  log  house,  shoveled  the  snow  from  the  fire-place  and  built  a 
fire.  Not  having  boards  enough  to  cover  the  floor,  they  had  to  step  from  one  to 
another.  They  lived  so  until  they  could  build  a  log  house  on  their  farm,  into 
which  they  then  moved.  They  suffered  all  the  hardships  of  pioneer  life,  but 
were  prosperous  and  happy,  steady  and  industrious.  They  carried  all  their 
pork,  butter  and  produce  to  Portland,  Boston  or  Montreal  in  the  winter  with  a 
horse  team. 

Ely  and  his  wife  went  to  Ohio,  a  distance  of  about  three  hundred  miles,  on 
horse-back  to  visit  her  brother,  William  McAlpine,  who  was  Judge  of  Supreme 
Court  at  that  time.  They  had  some  adventures :  lost  their  way  in  the  Dutch 
settlement,  could  not  understand  a  word  of  their  language  :  and  when  it  came 
night  they  heard  the  tinkling  of  a  cow-bell,  followed  it  and  came  where  they 
saw  a  light  from  a  log  cabin,  stopped  over  night  and  got  to  their  journey's  end  : 
and  then  back  safely. 

Great  grandfather,  John  Dickerman,  lived  and  enjoyed  good  health  until 
about  the  year  1822  or  1823,  when  he  died  at  the  advanced  age  of  one  hundred 
and  five  years.  [Record  of  his  birth,  Oct.  2,  1727,  makes  his  age  95  or  96. — Ed.] 
He  was  a  very  smart  man,  retaining  all  his  mental  faculties  to  a  remarkable 
degree.  After  he  was  a  hundred  years  old  he  would  go  out  and  chop  and  bring 
in  wood  for  his  fire,  though  he  was  not  obliged  to  do  it. 

I  think  I  have  heard  them  speak  of  Ely's  brother  Grigson  being  in  the  Revo- 
lutionary war.  Grandfather  had  four  sons  and  two  daughters,  all  of  whom 
lived  to  a  good  old  age,  but  one  son  who  died  in  infancy. 

My  mother,  Nancy  Dickerman,  was  married  during  the  war  of  1812  to  John 
Percival,  my  father — I  think  it  was  the  spring  of  1812 — and  moved  to  Glover, 
Vermont,  then  a  newly  settled  town,  into  a  log  house  where  the  potatoes  all 
froze  in  the  cellar.  Mother  was  young,  only  seventeen  years  old,  and  she  used 
to  tell  how  she  suffered  for  fear  of  the  Indians,  who  were  all  about  these  north- 
ern towns,  and  nights  when  alone  would  go  out  and  sit  by  the  cows,  fearing  to 
stay  in  the  house.  She  rode  from  Glover  to  Lyndon  on  horse-back  and  passed 
companies  of  soldiers  whom  she  feared  nearly  as  much  as  she  did  the  Indians. 
They  made  their  remarks,  but  were  stopped  by  their  captain. 

She  had  left  a  home  of  plenty — for  Ely  Dickerman  was  a  wealthy  farmer — and 
was  so  homesick  they  soon  moved  back  to  St.  Johnsbury,  where  they  had  seven 
children,  two  of  whom  died  in  infancy.  Myself  and  youngest  sister  are  the 
only  ones  now  living,  and  I  am  seventy-six.  We  had  one  only  brother  who  was 
a  mechanic. 

Father  was  a  farmer,  a  very  active  Christian  and  a  member  of  the  Congrega- 
tional church. 

None  of  the  family  were  in  the  war  of  1812. 

Truly  yours, 

Harriet  D.  Gould. 

Another  granddaughter  of  Ely"  Dickerman,  Mrs.  I.  P.  Chase  of 
St.  Johnsbury,  writes  of  John'  Dickerman  as  "  living  to  the  age

of  105,"  showing  that  this  is  a  family  tradition.  She  speaks  of 
Ely  Dickerman  as  "  a  beautiful  old  man  with  curly  hair,  nice  and 
good,"  and  of  Dolly  McAlpine,  his  wife,  as  "  of  Irish  descent,  her 
parents  having  come  from  Ireland,"  a  woman  of  "true  politeness," 
who  died  at  Waterford  of  quick  consumption. 

Hon  Albert*  Dickerman,  of  Watsonville,  Cal.,  published  in 
1869  a  carefully  prepared  history  of  the  descendants  of  John' 
Dickerman,  his  grandfather,  and  has  revised  and  extended  it  for 
this  work.  He  has  preserved  some  traditions  concerning  his 
father's  uncles  and  aunts,  which  will  be  given  in  their  place.

236  ABRAHAM*   DICKERMAN   FIFTH. 

Concerning  Abraham'  Dickerman,  son  of  John^  Dickerman, 
the  fifth  of  the  name,  accounts  are  fragmentary.  He  is  enrolled 
among  the  soldiers  of  the  Revolutionary  army  as  having  served 
from  May  25  to  Dec.  20,  1776,  in  a  company  that  was  at  the  siege 
of  Boston.  The  Captain  was  Benedict  Arnold,  but  he  was 
appointed  Colonel  and  did  not  serve  with  the  company,  the  com- 
mand falling  to  Capt.  Caleb  Trowbridge. 

The  N.  E.  Hist,  and  Gen.  Reg.  for  1890  has  a  list  of  loyalists 
who  emigrated  in  1783  to  New  Brunswick  and  became  the  founders 
of  St.  John.  These  went  in  the  ship  Union,  and  were  the  first  to 
arrive  of  five  thousand  refugees.  They  had  embarked  from  Hunt- 
ington, Long  Island,  where,  it  would  seem,  the  Connecticut  loy- 
alists gathered.  The  list  contains  the  name  of  "  Abraham  Dicker- 
man  of  New  Haven,  shoemaker."  The  indications  are  that  he 
was  without  wife  or  children. 

A  letter  from  Susan  E.  Wilcox,  of  Springfield,  Illinois,  adds 
some  further  information. 

"  My  mother's  grandfather  on  her  father's  side  married  the  widow  of  Abraham 
Dickerman,  who  lived  in  New  Haven.  She  herself  was  one  of  the  Storers  who 
came  originally  from  Boston.  I  think  the  marriage  took  place  in  1798  or  1799. 
She  had  a  son  by  her  first  husband,  Abraham  Dickerman.  who  bore  his  father's 
name  and  was  a  sailor.  He  died  at  sea,  but  we  do  not  know  the  date  of  his 
birth  or  death. 

The  name  of  my  great  grandfather  who  married  Mrs.  Abraham  Dickerman 
was  David  Burns. 

We  have  a  ring  of  my  great  grandmother's  which  has  engraved  on  it  these 
words — Nov.  27,  1799,  Abraham  Dickerman  &  (a  break)  9." 

If  these  three  accounts  are  of  the  same  individual,  his  life  must 
have  been  one  of  varied  experiences. 

Judge  Dickerman  gives  the  tradition  that  "he  went  into  a  for- 
eign country  at  an  earlv  day  and  was  not  heard  from  afterwards." 

Concerning  Esther"  Dickerman,  he  says  that  she  was  "  married 
in  New  Haven  to  a  man  by  the  name  of  Bradley  and  had  ten  chil- 
dren," and  that  her  sister  Rachel'  was  "  married  to  a  brother  of 
Esther's'  husband,  also  in  New  Haven."  A  search  in  the 
archives  gives  nothing  confirmatory  of  this  ;  nor  has  anything 
been  learned  from  other  sources  concerning  their  families.

John'  Dickerman,  at  the  age  of  sixteen,  enlisted  as  a  soldier  in 
the  Revolutionary  War,  and  served  about  nine  months,  in  Captain 
James  Blakeley's  Company  and  Colonel  Samuel  Fletcher's  Regi- 
ment. During  the  latter  part  of  his  service  he  was  employed  as  a 
scout,  being  accounted  the  hardiest  and  fleetest  man  in  his  division. 

While  a  young  man  he  went  to  New  Haven  and  learned  the  black- 
smith trade.  Returning,  he  lived  at  Brattleboro,  working  at  his 
trade  until  about  the  year  1800,  when  he  moved  to  Guilford,  Che- 
nango County,  New  York,  and  lived  there  and  near  there  in  Otsego 
County  until  he  died.  For  several  years  previous  to  his  death  he 
drew  a  pension  of  thirty-six  dollars  per  year,  and  after  his  death 
his  widow  drew  the  same  amount  as  long  as  she  lived.  In  his  life- 
time he  often  spoke  of  Ethan  Allen,  and  it  is  highly  probable  that 
he  served  under  him.  He  was  a  member  of  the  Methodist  Episco- 
pal Church.  Mingling  the  occupations  of  blacksmith  and  farmer, 
he  fulfilled  the  Scriptural  injunction  of  earning  his  living  by  the 
sweat  of  his  brow.  He  raised  a  large  family,  giving  them  such 
education  as  was  within  his  means  and  power,  and  sent  them 
forth  to  struggle  with  the  world,  with  the  best  of  instruction  and 
an  example  that  was  in  every  way  worthy  of  their  study  and  atten- 
tion. 

He  was  simple  and  abstemious  in  his  habits,  frugal  and  careful 
of  his  time  and  property,  faithful  and  diligent  in  his  pursuits.  He 
was  also  a  man  of  candor  and  great  integrity.  He  attended  to  his 
own  business,  and  as  a  citizen,  sought  to  act  his  part  well  and  to 
vote  intelligently.  Farther  than  this  he  had  no  secular  ambition. 
He  lived  the  life  of  a  most  consistent  Christian  and  left  to  his 
descendants  a  character  not  brilliant,  nor  discolored  here  and 
there  by  dark  spots,  but  substantial,  simple  even,  and  so  well- 
rounded  into  completeness  that  they  have  always  looked  upon  it 
as  a  model.  The  man  who  preached  his  funeral  sermon  and  was 
somewhat  remotely  related  to  his  wife,  but  who  has  also  been  dead 
now  (1896)  several  years,  in  acknowledging,  in  1870,  the  receipt 
of  a  pamphlet  containing  a  record  of  John  Dickerman  and  his 
descendants,  wrote  to  the  sender,  concerning  the  subject  of  this 
sketch  and  his  wife  :  "  Ah,  never  to  my  latest  breath  shall  I  forget

that  aged  couple.  Uncle  John,  an  Israelite  without  guile,  so  sin- 
cerely honest  in  all  things,  and  when  converted  carrying  that  same 
sincerity  into  his  religion.  Oh,  how  my  young  heart  used  to  melt 
as  I  bowed  with  the  family  at  the  altar  of  prayer  and  listened  to 
such  earnest  and  hearty  petitions  as  fell  from  his  lips.  It  was  my 
privilege  to  preach  his  funeral  sermon,  from  the  text  *  An  old  man 
and  full  of  days,  and  gathered  to  his  people.'  And  then  that  aged 
aunt.  I  used  to  think  her  the  most  perfect  woman  that  God  ever 
made.  What  a  world  of  care  and  labor  was  put  on  her,  yet  who 
ever  heard  from  her  any  complaining  ?  The  law  of  kindness 
ruled  in  her  heart  and  tongue,  and  looking  over  the  long  record 
of  names,  which  you  have  given  us,  I  could  not  but  think  how  all 
these  generations  will  rise  up  and  call  her  blessed.  If  it  had  been 
consistent  with  your  purpose,  I  could  have  wished  that  you  had 
given  a  more  lengthy  portrait  of  their  character  and  lives." 

Such  ancestors  command  the  respect  and  reverence  of  their 
descendants  and  require  of  them  a  manhood  and  womanhood  that 
shall  be,  at  all  times  and  under  all  circumstances,  unsullied. 
Thankful  Smith  was  born  April  7,  1768,  probably  at  Granby, 
Mass.  Her  father's  name  was  Seth  Smith.  He  was  a  descendant 
in  the  sixth  generation  of  Lieut.  Samuel  Smith,  born  at  Hadleigh, 
in  England,  about  the  year  1602,  who  with  his  wife  Elizabeth 
and  their  four  oldest  children  came  to  this  country  in  the  year 
1634  and  is  supposed  to  have  located  at  Watertown,  in  Massachu- 
setts, where  he  remained  for  one  year.  In  .635,  he  removed  with 
quite  a  company,  to  what  was  afterwards  and  is  now  known  as 
Wethersfield,  in  Connecticut,  where  he  remained  until  the  year 
1649.  In  that  year  he  removed  to  the  town  of  Hadley,  in  Hamp- 
shire County,  Massachusetts,  where  he  lived  until  his  death.  He 
was  one  of  the  original  settlers  of  Hadley,  before  it  was  divided, 
as  it  now  is,  into  the  townships  of  Hatfield,  North  and  South 
Hadley,  Amherst  and  Granby. 

Her  mother's  first  name  was  Thankful,  the  same  as  her  own. 
Her  father  had  two  wives  and  fifteen  children,  as  follows  :

Seth  Smith,  senior,  was  a  Colonel  of  militia  in  the  Revolution- 
ary war.  When  the  news  first  reached  his  town  of  the  invasion  of 
the  British,  he  was  in  church  on  Sunday.  He  instantly  left  the 
house,  mounted  his  horse  and  rode  all  over  the  town  raising  vol- 
unteers. The  next  morning,  with  his  newly  raised  recruits,  he 
inarched  about  thirty  miles  and  arrived  in  time  to  participate  in 
the  battle  of  Bennington.  His  residence  was  Granby,  Massa- 
chusetts. 

Israel  Smith — a  brother  of  Seth  Smith — had  eight  or  nine  chil- 
dren. The  name  of  the  oldest  was  Chloe  Smith.  She  married  a 
man  by  the  name  of  Hayes,  of  Brattleboro,  Vermont.  They  had 
seven  or  eight  children.  The  fifth  was  Rutherford  Hayes,  and  he 
was  the  father  of  Rutherford  B.  Hayes,  late  President  of  the 
United  States. 

The  following  is  an  extract  from  a  letter  written  by  President 
Hayes  in  February,  1870,  when  he  was  Governor  of  Ohio  : 

"My  father  came  to  Ohio  in  1817,  thus  separating  from  all  his  New  England 
relations,  and  died  before  my  birth,  so  that  I  have  not  had  an  opportunity  to 
learn  much  of  his  family,  *  *  *  there  is  an  impression  in  the  family  that 
Grandmother  Chloe  Smith  Hayes  was  a  very  superior  woman,  having  real 
genius. 

The  Meade  family,  all  having  a  talent  as  artists,  trace  their  faculty  to  grand- 
mother. The  most  distinguished  member  of  the  family  is  Larkin  G.  Meade,  a 
sculptor  of  wide  reputation.  You  may  have  heard  of  him  as  the  boy  who  made 
the  snow  statue  in  Brattleboro,  Vt.,  twelve  or  fifteen  years  ago.  He  is  the 
sculptor  and  architect  of  the  Lincoln  Monument,  at  Springfield,  Illinois,  and 
his  studio  in  Florence  probably  receives  as  many  orders  as  that  of  any  artist." 

Thankful  Smith  often  spoke  of  her  father's  connection  with  the 
Revolutionary  army,  and  though  a  young  girl,  remembered  the 


244  FROM  VERMONT  TO  NEW  YORK. 

battle  of  Bennington  and  spoke  of  it  frequently.  In  her  life  she 
was  genial,  lively  and  open-hearted  ;  active,  and  really  a  help- 
mate in  the  raising  of  their  large  family.  She  lived  to  lose  her 
recollection  and  for  several  of  the  last  years  of  her  life,  though  a 
mere  child,  she  still  retained,  in  a  most  remarkable  degree,  her 
health  and  physical  vigor.  At  the  age  of  eighty  and  upwards  she 
was  as  active  and  quick  as  a  young  girl  of  fifteen.  While  she 
hardly  remembered  what  occurred  in  the  later  years  of  her  life  so 
long  as  she  was  talking  about  them,  she  did  evidently  recall  the 
incidents  of  her  girlhood  and  earlier  years  with  accuracy. 

The  writer  (Albert"  Dickerman)  remembers  in  particular  calling 
on  her  after  she  was  eighty  years  of  age.  She  neither  knew  him, 
nor  when  told  who  he  was,  did  she  seem  to  remember  it  for  more 
than  a  minute  ;  it  was  a  mere  flash,  and  lost.  However,  upon  leav- 
ing the  room — evidently  associating  him  with  his  father,  who  was 
one  of  her  oldest  children,  and  born  in  Brattleboro,  Vermont — she 
remarked  that  she  wished  him  to  call  upon  her  in  her  room,  as 
she  desired  to  inquire  of  him  about  the  Brattleboro  folks.  Soon 
after,  in  company  with  a  cousin,  he  went  into  her  room  and  as 
soon  as  she  had  made  the  necessary  disposition  of  chairs,  &c.,  for 
welcome,  she  commenced  asking  questions  about  Deacon  this  and 
Doctor  that,  wishing  to  know  if  they  lived  by  the  church  or  over 
where  they  used  to,  and  a  great  many  other  questions  of  a  like 
nature.  He,  as  well  as  his  cousin,  told  her  that  he  had  never  been 
in  Brattleboro  and  knew  nothing  about  the  people.  She  insisted 
that  he  did  and  must,  and  to  gratify  her  he  finally  answered  at 
random,  yes  and  no,  to  her  numerous  questions.  She  manifested 
much  interest  and  at  the  close  of  the  conversation,  remarked  that 
she  was  glad  to  hear  from  old  Brattleboro  once  more.  Her  man- 
ner was  perfectly  natural  ;  her  questions  were  put  naturally,  and 
her  informant  has  no  doubt,  to  this  day,  but  what  she  asked  him 
about  the  people  who  lived  in  Brattleboro  when  she  lived  there. 
She  was  a  kind  mother  and  greatly  beloved  by  her  children.  She 
died,  October  7,  1856,  at  the  residence  of  her  son-in-law,  William 
C.  Sliter,  near  Rockdale,  in  the  town  of  Unadilla,  Otsego  County, 
New  York.  With  her  husband  she  was  a  member  of  the  Meth- 
odist Episcopal  Church,  and  a  most  exemplary  Christian. 

What  is  said  about  her  in  the  preceding  extract,  by  the  man  who 
preached  her  husband's  funeral  sermon  is  undoubtedly  a  very 
truthful  portraiture  of  her.  Her  descendants  regret  that  they 
have  not  a  more  complete  record  of  her  life  as  well  as  her  hus-

band's,  but  those  of  them  who  remember  her,  recall  her  with  feel- 
ings of  love  and  veneration.  She  was  a  good  and  noble  woman, 
a  mother  in  Israel,  and  her  descendants  do  and  will  in  very  truth 
call  her  blessed.

VIL     Phebe^  b.  June  5,  1826,  at  Guilford,  N.  Y.,  d.  there  March  24,  1827. 

Esther'  Dickerman,  the  wife  of  Ebenezer  B.  Hovey,  and  mother 
of  this  family,  was  a  woman  of  deep  religious  life  and  whole- 
hearted in  everything  she  undertook.  When  she  gave  herself  to 
Christ,  she  had  a  clear  apprehension  that  He  was  henceforth  to  be 
her  guide  and  friend,  and  although  she  passed  through  many 
severe  trials,  she  had  the  consciousness  of  divine  sympathy  and 
support. 

After  the  death  of  Mr.  Hovey,  the  care  of  the  family  came  upon 
her.  She  at  once  asked  how  she  might  give  them  superior  educa- 
tional advantages  and  made  a  home  for  them,  first  at  Hamilton, 
N.  Y.,  then  at  Homer,  and  finally  at  Oberlin,  Ohio.  In  each  of 
these  places  she  found  what  she  had  sought  and  the  results  showed 
the  wisdom  of  her  course. 

She  was  eminently  a  woman  of  prayer,  especially  in  her  later 
years,  and  appointed  for  herself  particular  subjects  of  prayer,  like 
"  Greater  Consecration  for  Herself,"  "  Her  Children  and  Grand- 
children," "  Our  Nation  and  Rulers,  Generals,  Officers  and  Sol- 
diers, Slaves  and  those  liberated." 

She  entered  with  all  her  heart  into  the  great  anti-slavery  move- 
ment and  into  every  other  true  reform.  She  believed  in  high 
attainments  in  the  Christian  life  and  earnestly  sought  them  for 
herself  and  for  others.

Nathaniel'  Dickerman,  though  born  in  Brattleboro,  Vt.,  spent 
most  of  his  life  in  Guilford  and  Masonville,  New  York.  He 
received  hjs  education  in  the  common  schools  and  was  a  farmer. 
He  engaged  also  in  lumbering  to  some  extent  and  used  to  run 
lumber  down  the  Susquehanna  river.  He  served  as  Constable 
and  afterwards  as  Justice  of  the  Peace.  It  is  said,  though,  that  few 
cases  were  ever  tried  before  him  and  that  in  the  great  majority  of 
cases  he  prevailed  upon  the  parties  to  settle  their  controversies 
themselves.  He  was  not  married  until  he  was  thirty-five  years 
old.  He  was  at  one  time  in  comfortable  circumstances  as  to  prop- 
erty, but  signed  or  endorsed  notes  with  other  parties  and  was 
obliged  to  pay  them,  or  he  did  pay  them,  although  it  is  said  he 
could  not  have  been  held  upon  some  of  them.  He  scorned  the 
idea,  however,  of  any  evasion  and  paid  them  in  full,  though  it  took 
nearly  all  the  property  he  had  to  do  it.  He  worked  very  hard 
after  that  to  support  his  young  family.  After  he  moved  to  Mason- 
ville he  served  one  year  as  Township  Treasurer.  He  was  a  mem- 
ber of  the  Presbyterian  Church,  a  most  devoted  Christian,  and  had 
the  universal  respect  of  everyone  who  knew  him,  as  a  man  of  per- 
fect honesty,  sincere  piety  and  exemplary  character. 

The  pastor  of  his  church  at  Masonville,  in  writing  to  one  of  his 
sons,  many  years  afterwards,  made  use  of  this  language  in  refer- 
ence to  him  : 

"  I  do  not  know  how  well  you  remember  your  father,  for  you 
were  very  young  when  he  died,  but  my  right  hand  will  forget  its 
cunning  before  I  forget  him.  He  was  my  counsellor  and  friend 
the  first  year  of  my  ministry.  Being  a  stranger  to  the  people  and 
new  to  the  work,  your  father,  as  opportunity  offered,  would  drop 
in  and  in  a  few  words  give  me  hints  of  inestimable  value.  Let 
occur  what  might,  for  it  was  a  time  of  tremendous  storms  and 
tempests  in  the  Church,  Nathaniel  Dickerman  was  a  rock  on 
which  I  could  always  lean.  There  were  great  divisions  and  hard- 
nesses, but  from  all  these  he  was  free  and  could  act  as  a  peace- 


MARY   ANN   FERRY.  255 

maker  between  the  parties.  His  friendly  counsels  and  conciliatory 
course  were  of  great  worth,  so  that  there  was  no  man  to  whom  I 
could  go  and  speak  with  such  confidence  as  to  him.  His  days 
were  shortened,  no  doubt,  by  the  adversities  which  came  upon 
him  and  extreme  anxiety  and  labor  for  the  support  of  his  rising 
family." 

The  principal  legacy  he  left  to  his  children  was  that  of  a  good 
name,  but  the  fragrance  of  that  has  been  a  constant  blessing  to 
them.  Some  of  them  hardly  remember  his  looks,  but  the  reputa- 
tion which  he  left,  the  high  regard  in  which  he  was  held  by  those 
who  knew  him,  the  character  which  he  sustained,  and  the  example 
which  he  set  for  them  have  stimulated  and  nerved  them  for  many 
a  hard  struggle  and  they  bless  and  cherish  his  name  as  a  heritage 
beyond  all  price.  If  they  have  met  with  any  success  in  life,  they 
gratefully  acknowledge  that  it  has  been  largely  due  to  the  teach- 
ings and  example  of  such  a  father  and  a  mother  who  was  his 
worthy  companion. 

Mary  Ann  Ferry  was  born  in  Brunswick,  Rensellaer  County, 
New  York.  Her  father's  ancestor  came  to  this  country  some  time 
in  the  seventeenth  century.  Her  mother  was  a  Smith  and  one  of 
the  seventh  generation,  in  descent,  from  the  same  Lieut.  Samuel 
Smith  who  was  the  ancestor  of  her  husband's  mother,  though  in  a 
different  line.  She  was  herself  the  oldest  of  a  family  of  nine  and 
assisted  materially  in  the  house.  She  was  educated  in  the  common 
schools,  and  taught  school  in  Masonville  and  Guilford,  at  or  near 
Rockdale.  At  the  latter  place  she  made  the  acquaintance  of  her 
first  husband.  She  was  married  at  the  age  of  twenty-three  and 
lived  with  her  husband  in  Guilford  and  Masonville  until  he  died 
in  1845.  Their  married  life  was  a  happy  one.  At  the  time  of  his 
death  she  was  left  with  a  family  of  six  children,  the  oldest  of  whom 
was  eleven  years  of  age,  and  the  youngest  born  during  her  hus- 
band's last  illness,  with  a  home  unpaid  for,  and  a  very  little  per- 
sonal property.  She  was  aided  to  some  extent  by  her  relatives 
and  friends,  and  the  second  son  was  adopted  and  reared  by  one  of 
her  sisters  and  her  husband.  With  her  other  five  children  she 
struggled  for  a  living.  For  the  first  few  years  it  was  hard  work  to 
make  both  ends  meet  and  to  save  eighteen  dollars  each  year  to  pay 
the  interest  upon  the  debt  they  owed  for  their  home.  She  worked 
hard,  became  a  fairly  good  tailoress,  earned  what  she  could  work- 
ing for  others,  spun  the  yarn,  wove  the  cloth  and  made  the  gar- 
ments for  her  children.     The  children  did  what  they  could  to 


256  FROM  VERMONT  TO  NEW  YORK. 

assist,  working  at  home  or  for  others,  and  as  they  grew  older 
accomplished  more.  In  1850  the  youngest  child  died.  She  was  a 
sweet  and  lovely  girl,  a  beautiful  singer,  a  universal  favorite,  and 
a  great  comfort  to  her  mother,  brothers  and  sisters.  Her  death 
came  with  crushing  effect  upon  them  all.  When  the  oldest  son 
was  eighteen  he  commenced  teaching  school  winters.  They 
always  had  a  good  garden,  some  chickens,  a  pig,  a  cow  or  two,  a 
fair  supply  of  fruit,  and  sold  a  little  butter  and  some  eggs.  All 
did  what  they  could  and  after  a  time  the  clouds  began  to  roll 
away.  By  the  time  the  oldest  son  was  twenty  they  had  the  home 
paid  for.  The  family  broke  up  that  year,  1854,  and  were  separated 
until  1856,  when  the  mother  remarried.  In  1857  they  moved  to 
Cleveland,  O. 

In  1859  she  went  back  to  Masonville  to  visit  her  mother  and 
friends,  and  while  there  was  taken  ill  and  died.  In  all  her  strug- 
gles to  live  and  rear  her  family  she  never  lost  heart  or  courage. 
She  was  a  sincere  and  devoted  Christian  and  her  absolute  faith 
and  implicit  trust  in  God  buoyed  her  up.  She  continued  family 
prayers  after  her  husband's  death  and  was  a  constant  attendant  at 
church  and  prayer-meetings.  Few  people  were  more  expressive 
in  prayer  than  she.  She  wrestled  for  a  blessing  and  was  always 
comforted  and  soothed  by  prayer  whenever  her  labors  and  trials 
appeared  for  the  moment  to  be  greater  than  she  could  bear.  To 
anyone  in  sorrow  or  trouble  or  prostrated  with  illness  she  was  a 
great  comforter.  Those  of  her  children  still  living  look  back  upon 
that  home  as  a  sacred  shrine,  a  place  hallowed  by  the  most  tender 
associations,  and  the  recollection  of  it  has  always  been  a  strong 
incentive  to  labor  in  honorable  callings  and  to  achieve  honorable 
results.  There  have  been  struggles  and  contests,  but  they  have 
been  manfully  and  gratefully  accepted.  Who  shall  venture  to 
predict  how  far  that  mother's  influence  will  extend  ?  Such 
mothers  help  to  make  and  build  a  nation,  strong  and  abiding  as 
the  Eternal  hills. 

Albert"  Dickerman  was  born  and  reared  upon  a  farm  among  the 
hills  of  Masonville,  N.  Y.  His  father  having  died  when  he  was 
five  years  of  age,  he  assisted  his  mother,  brothers  and  sisters  in 
obtaining  a  livelihood,  attending  District  school  until  he  was  six- 
teen years  of  age.  At  that  age  he  attended  an  academy  in  Che- 
nango County  two  terms.  At  the  age  of  seventeen  he  moved  with 
his  people  to  Cleveland,  Ohio.  From  that  time  until  he  went  into 
the  army,  he  was  studying  and  teaching,  a  part  of  the  time  in 


ALBERT*   DICKERMAN.  257 

Chester,  Ohio,  about  six  months  at  Oberlin,  Ohio,  and  about  a 
year  and  a  quarter  in  Missouri,  where  he  was  when  the  war  broke 
out  and  where  he  witnessed  a  good  deal  of  feeling  and  excitement. 

In  July  1862,  he  enlisted  as  a  private  in  Co.  "E"  105th  Regi- 
ment of  Ohio  Infantry.  On  reaching  camp  he  was  appointed  Ser- 
geant Major,  after  about  four  months  Second  Lieutenant,  two 
months  later  First  Lieutenant,  in  which  capacity  he  served  until 
the  close  of  the  war,  twice  declining  a  Captain's  commission.  His 
regiment  was  in  the  Fourteenth  Army  Corps,  under  Thomas  and 
later  Sherman,  participating  in  the  movements  of  that  corps, 
through  Kentucky  and  Tennessee  ;  in  the  Atlanta  campaign  ;  the 
March  to  the  Sea ;  through  the  Carolinas  to  Goldsboro ;  to 
Raleigh,  Richmond  and  Washington,  and  taking  part  in  the 
Grand  Review.  It  was  mustered  out  and  disbanded  in  June  1865. 
Of  the  subject  of  this  sketch,  Judge  Albion  W.  Tourgee,  who  wrote 
the  history  of  the  regiment,  makes  use  of  this  language  : 

"  He  was  a  man  of  strong  character  and  brilliant  qualities,  sys- 
tematic, prompt,  cool,  and  courageous,  one  of  those  men  who 
never  lose  their  heads  nor  forget,  nor  omit,  any  routine  duty.  His 
career  since  the  close  of  the  war  has  fully  justified  the  promise  of 
his  military  service." 

After  he  was  mustered  out  he  studied  law  at  Union  Law  College 
in  Cleveland,  Ohio,  and  was  admitted  to  practice  in  June  1866.  In 
August  of  that  year  he  located  at  Hillsdale,  Mich.  While  living 
there  he  served  for  three -years  as  Director  of  the  Public  Schools, 
for  four  years  as  Circuit  Court  Commissioner,  for  four  years  as 
Probate  Judge,  and  represented  the  County  in  the  State  Senate, 
during  the  general  session  of  1881  and  the  special  session  of  1882, 
practicing  his  profession  in  the  mean  time. 

In  the  spring  of  1883,  he  moved  to  Muskegon,  Mich.  There  he 
served  two  years  as  member  of  the  Board  of  Trustees  of  the  Pub- 
lic Schools,  and  in  1887  was  elected  Circuit  Judge  of  the  Four- 
teenth Judicial  Circuit,  and  served  in  that  capacity  six  years.  At 
the  close  of  his  term  he  declined  to  be  a  candidate  for  re-election, 
and  in  1894  moved  to  Watsonville,  Cal.,  where  he  now  resides  and 
is  practicing  his  profession.  In  1869  he  published  a  small  pam- 
phlet, containing  a  record  of  his  grandfather's  family,  and  he  has 
always  taken  a  deep  interest  in  the  genealogy  of  the  family. 

The  part  of  this  work  relating  to  the  descendants  of  John*  and  Thankful  (Smith) 
Dickerman  is  from  Judge  Dickerman  ;  and  especial  honor  is  due  to  him  as  the 
earliest  historian  of  the  family. — Ed.

264  THE    GUILFORD   FAMILY. 

Dr.  Clark^  Dickerman  had  an  academic  education,  and  took  a 
medical  course  in  Jefferson  College,  Philadelphia,  Pa.  After  his 
graduation  there  he  commenced  the  practice  of  his  profession  at 
Guilford,  N.  Y.  Soon  after  the  death  of  his  first  wife,  in  183 1,  he 
removed  to  Harford,  Susquehanna  Co.,  Pa.,  where  he  spent  the 
remainder  of  his  life.  Dr.  Dickerman  soon  acquired  an  extensive 
practice  in  his  profession.  With  abilities  of  a  high  order,  possess- 
ing a  mind  both  philosophical  and  practical,  he  correctly  diagnosed 
his  cases  and  successfully  treated  them.  He  united  with  excep- 
tional talents  rare  personal  gifts  and  a  sympathetic  nature,  which 
made  him  admired  and  beloved.  Modest  and  unassuming  in  his 
ways,  refined  and  intelligent  in  thought,  kind  and  considerate  in 
feeling,  he  was  regarded  as  friend,  companion  and  counselor  by 
those  with  whom  he  became  associated.  In  his  family  relations 
he  was  most  happy,  being  a  most  devoted  husband,  and  a  kind  and 
affectionate  father. 

Mrs.  Sarah  A.  Dickerman  was  the  daughter  of  one  of  the  early 
settlers  of  Gibson.  At  the  age  of  eighteen  she  was  married  to 
Dr.  Clark.  Previous  to  this  she  had  attended  the  Harford  Uni- 
versity. She  first  united  with  the  Congregational  Church,  but  on 
removing  to  Berwick  united  with  the  Presbyterian  Church  there. 

Motherhood  had  a  deep  meaning  in  her  life,  calling  into  action 
her  best  energies,  keenest  judgment  and  holiest  affections.  Her 
devotion  to  her  children  was  an  inspiration  to  them,  and  they  owe 
much  of  their  success  to  her  cheerful  and  courageous  spirit.  Her 
life  was  the  constant  revealing  of  a  warm  and  affectionate  heart. 
No  one  can  forget  the  hearty  and  gracious  manner  of  her  greet- 
ings, nor  the  rare  courtesy  that  touched  the  best  in  those  with 
whom  she  met  and  mingled. 

Hon.  Charles  H.*  Dickerman  is  a  man  of  high  standing  and 
influence  in  that  part  of  Pennsylvania  where  he  lives.  The 
Milton  Record  of  April  <?,  i8g6,  in  advocating  his  nomination  for 
Congress,  uses  the  following  language  : 

"  No  candidate  could  be  chosen  who  would  go  before  the  people  with  a 
stronger  claim  for  their  suffrages.  A  broad-minded  business  man,  a  keen 
observer  of  public  events,  conservative  and  judicious,  with  fixed  notions  upon 
the  great  economic  and  financial  questions  that  are  before  the  people,  based 
upon  careful  study  and  practical  knowledge,  he  is  one  man  out  of  ten  thousand 
to  fitly  represent  the  varied  interests  of  the  state  and  district. 

Mr.  Dickerman  has  been  a  large  employer  of  labor  and  is  in  close  touch  with  the 
laboring  man  and  his  interests.  He  has  paid  the  best  wages  commensurate  with 
the  conditions  of  business  and  has  manifested  a  friendly  interest  in  the  welfare 
of  the  workmen  and  their  families."

2/0  THE  GUILFORD  FAMILY. 

IV.  Henry  Walker«,  b.  Feb.  6,  1839.  m.  Feb.  21,  1866,  at  Mt.  Upton, 
N.  Y.,  Hattie  L.  Day,  b.  March  30,  1847,  at  Guilford,  res.  Bain- 
bridge,  N.  Y.     Hardware  merchant. 

I.  Ralph  Walker',  b.  Oct.  20,  1878,  at  Bainbridge. 

V.     Frances  Emugene*,  b.  Aug.  7,  1842,  d.  Sep.  16,  1848. 
VI.     Eveline  A.^,  b.  Oct.  9,  1847,  d.  Sep.  9,  1848. 

Zachariah  Curtis  was  born  in  Stamford,  Connecticut.  When  he 
was  about  two  years  of  age  his  parents  moved  to  Madison,  Madi- 
son Co.,  N,  Y.,  making  the  journey  with  an  ox  team. 

He  lived  with  his  parents  until  he  was  twenty-five  years  old, 
when  he  moved  to  the  town  of  Unadilla,  in  Otsego  Co.,  and  on  to 
a  farm  which  he  had  purchased  the  year  before.  He  very  soon 
set  out  a  hop-yard,  it  probably  being  the  first  one  in  the  county. 
He  was  married  a  second  time  Feb.  7,  1850,  to  Maria  Westover  of 
Sidney,  N.  Y.  He  remained  upon  his  farm  until  the  spring  of 
1861,  moving  then  to  the  village  of  Rockdale,  where  he  continued 
until  his  death.  His  widow  still  lives  there  (1896)  and  is  now 
about  eighty-three  years  of  age.  Besides  his  farm,  he  owned  a 
flouring  mill  and  was  interested  in  some  other  enterprises, 

Mr.  Curtis  was  an  energetic  and  successful  business  man,  tem- 
perate in  his  habits,  simple  and  unostentatious  in  his  tastes,  con- 
scientious and  sincere  in  his  beliefs,  strong  in  integrity,  a  devoted 
husband  and  father,  an  esteemed  and  honored  citizen.  In  religion 
he  was  a  Universalist  and  in  politics  a  Democrat.  While  differing 
in  both  of  these  matters  from  many  of  his  neighbors  and  friends, 
he  was  so  sincere  that  he  commanded  their  respect  and  esteem. 
He  was  tolerant  in  his  views,  not  a  dogmatist,  nor  did  he  find 
fault  or  quarrel  with  those  who  differed  from  him.  He  was  thor- 
oughly loyal  and  strongly  devoted  to  the  welfare  of  our  country 
and  government,  liberal  in  his  benefactions,  genial  in  his  dispo- 
sition, a  kind  neighbor,  a  devoted  friend.  He  lived  to  the  ripe 
age  of  ninety-one,  and  died  full  of  honors.

William  McAlpine'  Dickerman  received  his  education  in  the 
common  schools  of  St.  Johnsbury  and  at  Newbury  Seminary,  with 
one  year  in  college  at  Burlington.  He  studied  law  with  Hon.  S. 
B.  CoUey  at  Derby,  was  admitted  to  the  practice  of  the  law  and 
followed  his  profession  with  success  for  about  a  year  at  Lunen- 
burg. He  then  removed  to  Derby  and  a  few  years  later  to  Cov- 
entry, continuing  to  practice  the  law  in  both  places  till  sickness 
compelled  him  to  withdraw  from  it.  His  sickness  was  prolonged 
for  seven  years,  and  practically  he  did  no  professional  business 
after  he  was  a  few  months  over  thirty-one  years  of  age.  But 
already  he  had  come  to  be  regarded  as  one  of  the  best  lawyers  in 
the  country,  and  was  called  into  service  so  constantly  that  over- 
work shortened  his  life.

274  THE   FAMILY   IN   VERMONT. 

He  represented  the  town  of  Coventry  twice  in  the  Vermont 
legislature,  in  1850  and  185 1,  and  took  a  high  position  as  a  thinker 
and  debater  in  that  body.  He  was  also  Assistant  Secretary  of  the 
Vermont  Senate  for  two  years. 

Jerre  Ely*  Dickerman  was  educated  in  the  common  schools  and 
academy  of  St.  Johnsbury,  and  at  Newbury  seminary  and  Derby 
academy,  all  Vermont  institutions.  He  studied  law  with  his 
brother,  William  McAlpine^  Dickerman,  at  Coventry,  and  with 
Henry  F.  Prentice  at  Derby  Line,  and  was  admitted  to  practice 
at  the  June  term  of  Orleans  County  Court  in  1852.  He  taught 
school  awhile  after  this,  then  practiced  his  profession  for  about  a 
year  at  Troy,  Vt.  In  September  1855  he  removed  to  Charleston, 
Vt.,  and  continued  his  legal  practice  there  till  1864,  when  he  went 
to  Derby  and  entered  into  partnership  with  Hon.  John  S.  Edwards, 
who  was  at  that  time  the  leading  lawyer  in  that  part  of  Vermont, 
under  the  firm  name  of  "Edwards  and  Dickerman." 

In  1872  Messrs.  Edwards  and  Dickerman  removed  to  Newport, 
Vt.,  a  more  central  location,  and  ten  years  later  received  into 
the  firm  another  partner,  changing  the  name  to  "  Edwards,  Dick- 
erman and  Young."  In  1886  Mr.  Edwards  withdrew,  and  the  firm 
was  known  as  "Dickerman  and  Young"  till  November  15,  1895, 
when  Mr.  Dickerman  practically  retired  on  account  of  poor 
health. 

Mr.  Dickerman  represented  the  town  of  Charleston  in  the  Ver- 
mont legislature  two  years,  1859  and  i860.  He  was  Bank  Com- 
missioner for  the  state  three  years,  1862  to  1864,  and  then  declined 
a  re-election.  He  also  represented  Orleans  County  in  the  State 
Senate  three  years,  1869  to  1871.

CHAPTER  XII. 


ISAAC   DICKERMAN    OF  NEW  HAVEN. 

"It  is  the  people,  not  the  population,  which  forms  the  nation The 

national  type  is  not  obliterated  in  the  vicissitudes  of  events,  nor  overborne  by 
the  migrations  of  races,  and  does  not  perish,  although  the  individual  die." 

— "  The  Nation."    Elisha  Mulford. 

New  England's  early  growth  was  not  swift,  but  steady  and 
sound ;  proceeding  by  multiplication  of  the  original  families 
rather  than  by  accretions  from  abroad.  The  first  impetuous  tide 
of  immigration,  ebbing  under  Cromwell's  protectorate,  was  only 
sluggishly  resumed  at  the  Restoration  ;  and  the  increase  from  this 
source  was  of  secondary  moment.  But  the  expansion  which 
comes  through  a  healthy  family  life  was  constant. 

It  is  not  easy  for  people  who  live  in  a  modern  city  to  under- 
stand the  life  of  colonial  times  ;  conditions  were  so  different  from 
those  we  see. 

Among  these  conditions  was  the  continuity  of  the  same  group 
of  families  in  the  same  place,  generation  after  generation.  The 
first  settlers,  many  of  them,  went  about  and  carefully  looked  into 
the  main  advantages  offered  by  different  localities  before  deciding 
where  they  would  remain.  But  having  made  the  decision  they 
planted  themselves  for  permanence.  The  homesteads  they  founded 
were  retained  by  their  children  ;  and,  as  these  grew  in  numbers, 
the  adjacent  regions  were  reclaimed  from  the  wilderness,  and 
changed  into  other  homesteads. 

The  education  of  these  children  was  such  as  the  circumstances 
determined — scanty  in  letters,  science  and  art,  unenlivened  by 
news  of  the  world,  untouched  by  the  broadening  culture  of  travel 
— but  rich  in  a  certain  quality  of  moral  strength  and  practical 
efficiency.  The  school  was  the  home  :  the  teachers  were  father, 
mother,  brothers  and  sisters  ;  the  lessons  were  those  of  filling 
aright  one's  place  in  a  little  circle  of  busy  lives  closely  united  by 
ties  of  mutual  interest  and  love  :  the  prizes  were  new  trusts  in 
recognition  of  fidelity,  and  constant  profit-sharing  in  the  fruits  of 
toil  as  each  one  in  a  home  shared  in  all  the  benefits  that  came. 


EARLY  FAMILY  NAMES. 


279 


Such  a  training  would  hardly  be  called  education.  But  it  may- 
have  been  that  after  all.  We  are  apt  to  speak  of  the  common 
school  as  accounting  for  the  intelligence  of  New  Englanders,  but 
that  tells  only  a  part  of  the  story.  Probably  the  general  practice 
of  daily  family  worship  with  reading  of  the  Bible  had  quite  as 
much  to  do  with  it ;  and  there  were  many  other  things  besides. 

The  people  continued  to  be  essentially  the  same  after  a  hundred 
years  as  at  the  beginning.  They  kept  their  traditions,  and  moved 
quietly  forward  to  the  fulfillment  of  their  purpose. 

In  the  town  records  of  New  Haven  one  may  read  of  nearly  six 
thousand  children  who  were  born  between  1647  and  1754.  These 
are  ranged  under  290  family  names,  but  the  greater  part  are  of 
those  original  planters  and  householders  mentioned  in  a  previous 
chapter,  page  ij8. 

These  names,  with  the  number  of  births  recorded  for  each,  are  as

Total  number  of  family  names  290. 
Total  number  of  children  5954. 

Names  that  do  not  appear  before  1700  are  in  italics.  They  num- 
ber 83,  and  207  are  earlier. 

There  were  many  births  of  course  which  are  not  recorded,  but 
the  list  is  full  enough  to  show  the  make-up  of  the  community. 
Most  of  the  people  were  from  the  earlier  settlers.  Nearly  three- 
fourths  of  the  whole  number  are  under  52  names,  and  nine-tenths 
under  112.  The  number  under  the  4  names  first  mentioned  is 
729,  while  there  are  only  580  under  the  last  178,  showing  that  the 
former  constituted  a  larger  element  of  the  population  than  all  of 
the  latter. 

A  glance  at  the  Charts  will  show  how  these  older  families  were 
interwoven  by  marriages  and  how  close  must  have  been  the  rela- 
tions between  them. 

In  some  respects  the  community  was  like  one  family.  Isolation 
from  other  communities  helped  to  unite  the  people  among  them- 


LIST  OF   MAGISTRATES.

selves.  All  attended  the  same  church  for  nearly  a  century — even 
those  living  many  miles  out  in  the  country — and  were  generally 
acquainted  as  neighbors  and  friends. 

Prominent  among  them  were  the  minister  and  the  civil  magis- 
trate, and  the  long  terms  of  their  service  were  accordant  with  the 
stability  of  society. 

An  important  function  of  the  civil  magistrates  was  the  marriage 
service,  and  this  was  restricted  to  them  till  the  latter  part  of  the 
century. 

A  list  of  the  magistrates  who  performed  most  of  the  marriages 
previous  to  1754,  with  the  number  of  marriages  by  each,  is  as 
follows : 


Stephen  Goodyear,  Deputy  Governor, 
Theophilus  Eaton,  Governor, 
Francis  Newman,  Governor, 
Matthew  Gilbert,  Deputy  Governor, 
William  Jones,  Deputy  Governor, 
James  Bishop,  Deputy  Governor, 
John  Moss,  Commissioner, 
John  Nash,  Assistant, 
Samuel  Eells,  Assistant, 
William  Maltby,  Justice  of  the  Peace, 
Moses  Mansfield,  Assistant, 
John  Ailing,  Justice  of  the  Peace, 
Jeremiah  Osborn,  Justice  of  the  Peace, 
John  Hall,  Assistant, 
Nathan  Andrews,  Justice  of  the  Peace, 
Abraham  Bradley,  Justice  of  the  Peace, 
Warham  Mather,  Justice  of  the  Peace, 
Samuel  Bishop,  Justice  of  the  Peace,    . 
Joseph  Whiting,  Assistant, 
Theophilus  Yale,  Justice  of  the  Peace, 
Isaac  Dickerman,  Justice  of  the  Peace, 
John  Hubbard,  Justice  of  the  Peace,     . 


The  sentiment  held  by  the  Puritans  that  marriage,  being  a  civil 
ordinance,  ought  to  be  performed  only  by  a  civil  magistrate, 
became  less  strenuous  as  time  passed  on,  till  at  length  a  law  was 
passed  in  the  General  Assembly  permitting  ministers,  under  cer- 
tain circumstances,  to  perform  the  service. 

Oct.  i6g4.  "The  Court  doe,  for  the  satisfaction  of  such  as  are  conscien- 
ciously  desirous  to  be  marryed  by  the  ministers  of  their  plantations,  doe  grant 
the  ordayned  ministers  of  the  severall  plantations  in  the  Colony  liberty  to  joyne 
in  marriage  such  persons  as  are  qualified  for  the  same  according  to  law."

ISAAC     DICKERMAN   OF   NEW   HAVEN. 


The  first  to  take  advantage  of  this  law,  so  far  as  New  Haven 
records  show,  was  Rev.  Israel  Chauncey  of  Stratford,  who  per- 
formed a  marriage  in  1695,  and  another  in  1700.  Many  years 
passed  before  the  practice  became  common.  Rev.  Jacob  Heming- 
way of  East  Haven  was  the  first  in  this  neighborhood  to  take  the 
step,  in  17 16,  Rev.  James  Wetmore  of  North  Haven  followed,  in 
1719,  and  Rev.  Samuel  Johnson  of  West  Haven,  in  1722.  The 
name  of  Rev.  Joseph  Noyes  of  New  Haven  occurs  in  such  a  con- 
nection, in  1724,  and  that  of  Rev.  Isaac  Stiles  of  North  Haven,  in 
1725.  Thus  it  was  about  thirty  years  before  the  usage  was  fairly 
established.  During  the  next  thirty  years  some  400  marriages 
were  performed  by  ministers,  a  much  larger  number  than  by  civil 
magistrates. 

With  the  unfolding  of  New  Haven's  own  life  as  a  community, 
there  was  her  leading  position,  also,  in  the  group  of  communities 
that  made  up  the  State. 

When  in  1665  the  New  Haven  colony  became  united  with  her 
sister  colony  under  the  name  of  Connecticut  there  were  20  towns 
to  be  represented  in  the  General  Assembly  with  an  aggregate 
taxable  property  of  p^  153,620,  distributed  as  follows  :

They  were  only  a  score  of  little  places,  but  so  many  centers  still 
from  which  a  few  families  should  grow  and  branch  out  to  become 
a  strong  commonwealth.  Like  conditions  prevailed  in  them  all, 
but  each  community  had  its  individuality.  Each  had  its  own 
local  features  peculiar  to  itself  and,  what  was  more  vital,  each  had 
its  own  families  with  strong  family  traits,  like  the  Wolcotts  at 
Windsor,  the  Huntingtons  at  Norwich,  the  Wards  at  Guilford,  who 
made  a  society  after  their  type. 

In  1720,  after  55  years,  the  number  of  towns  was  40,  having 
doubled,  and  the  estates  aggregated  ;!^4i3,985,  having  more  than 
doubled.     At  this  time  New  Haven  and  Hartford  were  much  in

advance  of  the  other  places  in  wealth,  that  of  New  Haven  being 
placed  at  ^28,^16,  that  of  Hartford  at  ^^23,203.  The  population 
of  New  Haven  village  at  this  time  is  estimated  at  about  1,000. 

Another  55  years  brings  us  to  the  close  of  colonial  times  and 
the  eve  of  the  Revolution,  In  1776  there  were  71  towns,  with  a 
valuation  of  ;^i, 91 1,970.      The  12  towns  of  greatest  wealth  were  ;

These  figures  indicate  a  very  even  distribution  of  the  inhabi- 
tants compared  with  what  we  now  see.  Pres.  Dwight  gives  the 
population  of  New  Haven  in  1774  as  8,295.  The  town  then 
included  Woodbridge,  Hamden,  North  Haven  and  East  Haven. 
In  1787,  after  these  places  had  been  incorporated  by  themselves, 
Dr.  Dana  gives  the  population  of  New  Haven  as  3,364,  which 
indicates  that  the  outlying  districts  contained  more  than  half  of 
the  inhabitants. 

With  this  expansion  more  churches  were  organized — at  East 
Haven  in  1711,  at  North  Haven  in  1718,  at  West  Haven  in  1719,  at 
Cheshire  in  1724,  at  Woodbridge  in  1742.  And  it  was  the  same 
throughout  the  State.  In  1700  there  were  35  churches  in  Con- 
necticut. During  the  next  50  years  117  Congregational  churches 
were  added,  besides  30  or  40  of  other  denominations. 

There  is  reason  to  think  that  the  country  districts  of  the  State 
were  nearly  as  populous  then  as  now.  The  population  of  the 
State  in  1756  was  130,608  according  to  a  census  in  that  year  and 
in  1776  it  was  probably  about  200,000.  According  to  the  census 
of  1890  it  is  now  about  750,000.  But  cities  and  villages  at  the 
present  time  embrace  fully  500,000,  leaving  the  number  in  the 
surrounding  parts  not  very  much  larger  than  in  the  later  colonial 
period. 

Legislation  under  these  circumstances  was  simpler  than  it  is 
to-day — less  general  and  more  specific.  It  was  quite  important 
that  the  representative  should  be  acquainted  with  the  other  mem- 
bers of  the  Legislature  and  have  a  knowledge  of  the  towns  in 
general ;  and  the  same  man  was  usually  returned  for  a  number  of 
terms.

In  this  list  Isaac'  Dickerman  is  conspicuous  for  more  terms  of 
service  than  any  other  Deputy.  His  father  Abraham"  Dickerman 
was  also  among  those  who  were  long  in  the  Assembly,  and  his 
grandfather,  John  Cooper,  was  one  of  the  two  who  were  present  at 
the  earliest  session.  The  united  service  of  these  three  covered  »66 
terms,  extending  from  first  to  last  over  a  period  of  92  years. 

He  seems  to  have  had  unusual  aptitude  for  public  affairs,  due  in 
large  measure,  we  may  suppose,  to  his  home  training.  He  was 
twelve  years  old  when  his  grandfather  died,  and  we  can  imagine 
the  boy  drinking  in  from  the  lips  of  the  aged  Puritan  stories  of 
the  founding  of  the  colony  and  of  its  growth,  till  he  was  familiar 
with  its  whole  history.  He  did  not  hold  any  public  position, 
however,  till  he  was  well  past  his  youth,  and  most  of  his  official 
service  was  in  advanced  life. 

He  was  32  years  of  age  when  he  was  first  placed  in  office,  being 
appointed  Constable,  Oct.  17 10.     He  was  Ensign  of  militia  Oct. 


OFFICIAL  POSITIONS.  285 

1713,  and  Captain  in  1722.  He  was  chosen  Townsman  Dec.  15, 
17 1 2,  and  afterward  continuously  till  1719  ;  then  from  1722  till  1725, 
and  from  1730  till  1732,  in  all  fifteen  years.  He  was  Deputy  to  the 
General  Assembly  59  terms  between  1718  and  1757,  and  was  ap- 
pointed Justice  of  the  Peace  for  New  Haven,  May  1735,  ^.nd  each 
year  afterward  as  long  as  he  lived — till  1758,  24  years. 

In  the  General  Assembly  he  was  twice  on  Committees  "to  take 
care  that  all  acts  of  the  court  are  truly  and  exactly  entered  on  the 
records,"  in  1722  and  1723.  Later  he  was  on  many  important  com- 
mittees, requiring  the  best  executive  ability,  especially  a  judicial 
and  conciliatory  disposition  ;  in  1727  "to  consider  a  petition  from 
Nichol's  Farms  of  Stratford  for  village  improvements;"  in  1732 
"to  locate  the  Kensington  meeting-house,"  a  subject  upon  which 
that  society  had  become  seriously  divided  ;  and  in  the  same  year 
to  "endeavor  a  reconciliation  among  contending  parties"  in 
Woodbury,  where  "unhappy  differences  "  had  arisen  over  a  line 
drawn  to  determine  the  new  Society  of  Southbury ;  in  1737  to  sell 
a  township  out  of  which  Goshen  was  formed;  and  in  1740  to 
investigate  and  advise,  upon  a  petition  for  a  new  ecclesiastical 
society  in  the  district  since  known  as  Oxford. 

His  services  were  valued  in  the  Church  as  well  as  in  state  affairs. 
He  was  chosen  a  Deacon  of  the  First  Church  in  1727,  and  held  the 
office  till  1754,  when  he  resigned  ;  and,  transferring  his  member- 
ship to  the  White  Haven  Church,  was  at  the  same  time  chosen  a 
Deacon  there  and  retained  the  office  till  his  death. 

In  the  Ecclesiastical  Society,  he  was  appointed  Dec.  30,  1720 
on  a  Committee  to  "  confer  with  the  Trustees  and  Rector  of  Yale 
College  about  placing  the  scholars  in  the  meeting-house  ; "  and 
was  asked  to  perform  the  same  service  in  other  years.  He  was 
chosen,  Jan.  4,  1726-7,  on  the  standing  committee  "to  order  the 
affairs  of  the  Society  for  the  ensuing  year,"  and,  with  one  excep- 
tion in  1737,  was  annually  reelected  as  long  as  he  lived,  31  times. 
May  7,  1739,  he  was  Moderator  of  the  meeting  and  was  called  to 
fill  this  post  some  13  times  or  more. 

When  Yale  College  was  about  to  be  removed  from  Saybrook  to 
New  Haven  the  town  made  "  a  grant  of  eight  acres  of  land  to  the 
Collegiate  School  when  and  so  long  as  the  School  shall  be  con- 
tinued in  New  Haven."  The  committee  to  make  the  transfer  of 
this  land  were  John  Ailing,  Samuel  Bishop,  Capt.  Joseph  Whit- 
ing, Isaac^  Dickerman  and  Theophilus  Munson.  This  was  Dec.  24, 
1 7 16,  and  the  transfer  was  made  March  15,  17 17-18. 


286  ISAAC'   DICKERMAN   OF  NEW   HAVEN. 

Soon  after,  May  14,  17 18,  a  number  of  proprietors  in  New 
Haven  made  a  gift  of  forty  acres  more  of  land  for  the  support  of 
the  institution.  The  names,  with  the  amount  which  each  contrib- 
uted, are  as  follows : 

Abraham  Bradley  Sr.,  2  acres.  John  Ball  Jr.,  5  acres. 

Nathaniel  Yale,  3^  acres.  Thomas  Holt,  i^  acres. 

John  Todd  Jr.,  i  acre.  John  Mix,  5  acres. 

Samuel  Ailing,  5  acres.  Joseph  Ives,  x%  acres, 

Isaac  Dickerman,  2  acres.  Theophilus  Munson,  i  acre. 

John  Gilbert,  4  acres.  John  Bradley,  i  acre. 

Joseph  Hull,  I  acre.  Joseph  Mix,  i  acre. 

Samuel  Ives,  2  acres.  Daniel  Sherman,  i  acre. 
Thomas  Munson,  2  acres. 

This  action  strikingly  resembles  that  alluded  to  on  page  6,  in 
which  Thomas'  Dickerman,  the  grandfather  of  Isaac,  was  asso- 
ciated with  his  neighbors  at  Dorchester  in  providing  an  education 
fund  for  that  place. 

But  Isaac'  Dickerman's  services  to  the  College  did  not  end  here. 
The  same  May  on  which  this  deed  was  signed,  he  and  Theophilus 
Munson  took  their  seats  for  the  first  time  in  the  Connecticut  Gen- 
eral Assembly.  They  were  undoubtedly  chosen  with  particular 
reference  to  their  looking  after  the  interests  of  the  College  ;  for, 
at  the  previous  session  in  October,  a  movement  had  been  made  to 
transfer  the  institution  to  Middletown,  which  only  the  personal 
influence  of  Governor  Saltonstall  had  overcome.  It  was  one  of 
those  critical  times  when  a  great  deal  was  at  stake. 

The  College  had  been  started  at  Saybrook  in  1701,  but  the  loca- 
tion was  not  altogether  satisfactory,  and,  the  question  of  removal 
being  raised,  the  people  of  Hartford  put  forth  strenuous  efforts  to 
have  it  transferred  to  their  part  of  the  state.  A  larger  part  of  the 
students  went  to  Wethersfield  to  be  under  the  instruction  of  Mr. 
Elisha  Williams,  and  a  petition  was  sent  to  the  Legislature  that 
the  College  be  removed  to  that  place.  New  Haven  had  the  advan- 
tage of  a  majority  in  the  Board  of  Trustees  and  they  voted  to 
establish  the  institution  here.  Instruction  was  entered  upon  at 
the  beginning  of  the  academic  year  17 16-17  >  but  the  students  at 
Wethersfield  refused  to  go  and  formed  the  nucleus  of  a  rival  col- 
lege. The  Legislature  did  not  interfere  ;  commencement  was  held 
at  New  Haven  in  1717  ;  and  the  Trustees  began  to  build  a  college 
hall.  Thereupon  the  diversion  was  made  in  favor  of  Middletown 
which  came  so  near  succeeding. 


YALE   COLLEGE.  28/ 

At  the  time  Isaac'  Dickerman  first  entered  the  Legislature,  the 
Wethersfield  College  was  still  going  on,  and,  the  following  sum- 
mer, held  its  Commencement ;  conferring  degrees  on  the  same 
day  with  the  College  at  New  Haven.  But  many  things  combined 
to  place  the  latter  in  the  lead.  The  Legislature  recommended 
that  the  scholars  at  Wethersfield  receive  their  degrees  at  New 
Haven,  and  ordered  the  students  to  go  down  thither,  while  the 
Trustees  at  New  Haven  smoothed  the  path  to  a  settlement  of  diffi- 
culties by  their  conciliatory  course.  The  Wethersfield  boys  were 
found  to  be  a  turbulent  lot  and,  early  in  17 19,  they  all  left  in  a 
body  and  went  back  to  their  old  camping  grounds.  The  College, 
however,  was  now  established  in  its  new  home  with  a  commodious 
building  for  its  use,  and  such  a  boyish  outburst  was  short-lived. 

This  is  said  to  have  been  the  only  time  in  which  New  Haven 
was  victorious  in  a  contest  with  Hartford.  The  rival  city  at  the 
north  won  in  the  early  controversy  by  which  the  two  colonies 
were  consolidated,  and  in  the  recent  struggle  through  which  Hart- 
ford became  the  sole  capital  of  the  state.  But  in  the  strife  to  obtain 
Yale  College  the  city  by  the  Sound  was  the  winner. 

Long  after  this,  Isaac'  Dickerman  seems  to  have  been  regarded 
in  the  Legislature  as  the  especial  representative  of  Yale  interests, 
as  shown  in  the  following  votes : 

May,  1736.  "  Upon  the  report  of  the  Committee  for  repairing  Yale  College  of 
sundry  disbursements ;  this  Assembly  order  that  Capt.  Isaac  Dickerman  draw- 
out  of  the  public  treasury  for  defraying  the  same  and  perfecting  the  repairs  of 
said  College  the  sum  of  fifty  pounds." 

Oct.,  J736.  "'The  Assembly  order.  That  the  sum  of  fifty-three  pounds  eighteen 
shillings  and  three  pence  be  paid  out  of  the  public  treasury  unto  Messrs.  Isaac 
Dickerman  and  John  Punderson,  which  together  with  fifty  pounds  granted  in 
May  last  is  in  full  for  repairing  Yale  College." 

Oct.,  1736.  "This  Assembly  do  appoint  and  impower  Mr.  Isaac  Dickerman 
and  Mr.  John  Punderson  to  proceed  to  make  further  repairs  of  Yale  College  and 
to  draw  out  of  the  Colony  treasury  the  sum  of  twenty-four  pounds  to  be  improved 
for  that  service." 

In  those  days  movement  and  change  were  in  the  air.  Forces  of 
life  which  had  long  been  gathering  vigor  were  pushing  forward 
to  new  unfoldings.  A  comprehensive  glance  may  help  one  to 
understand  the  situation.  From  the  planting  of  New  Haven 
to  the  close  of  the  last  century  it  was  160  years.  Divide  this  into 
four  equal  periods  of  forty  years  and  each  has  a  characteristic 
note. 


288  ISAAC'  DICKERMAN   OF  NEW   HAVEN. 

With  the  first,  1638-1678,  it  was  The  Pursuit  of  Ideals.  The  set- 
tlers came  **  seeking  a  country  " — and  not  merely  a  land  to  dwell 
in,  but  to  dwell  in  after  a  higher  way. 

The  thought  of  the  second  period,  1678-17 18,  was  Occupation  of 
the  Country.  It  was  an  age  of  business,  full  of  energy  and  enter- 
prise, of  bold  planning,  shrewd  management  and  strenuous  toil. 
The  ideals  were  not  lost — no  more  than  an  architect's  designs  are 
lost  in  the  process  of  building  when  masons,  carpenters  and  artists 
work  without  seeing  them — they  were  only  out  of  sight  that  they 
might  pass  into  fulfillment  in  the  lives  of  men  and  of  families. 

The  third  period,  1718-1758,  was  one  oi  Defining  Positions.  Then 
occurred  what  is  known  as  **The  Great  Awakening."  People 
paused  in  what  they  were  doing  and  asked  why  they  were  doing 
it.  They  turned  to  their  ideals,  their  standards  of  life,  to  test 
themselves  and  to  try  their  work. 

The  fourth  period,  1 758-1 798,  was  marked  by  The  Assertion  of 
Principles.  Its  events  were  the  Declaration  of  Independence  and 
the  establishment  of  the  Republic. 

Turning  now  to  the  third  forty  years,  the  course  of  events  is 
fraught  with  meaning.  At  their  beginning,  people  hardly  knew 
what  they  believed  ;  at  their  end  the  common  people  had  learned 
to  think,  had  grasped  a  philosophy  of  life  and  were  ordering  their 
conduct  by  it. 

The  master  mind  of  this  period  was  Jonathan  Edwards.  He 
was  one  to  whom,  from  his  childhood,  a  philosophy  of  life  was 
indispensable.  From  him  first  the  age  derived  its  new  spirit  of 
inquiry.  Two  incidents  are  given  of  the  year  1722  which  fore- 
token those  events  which  were  coming. 

Yale  College  had  received  from  England  a  quantity  of  valuable 
books  which  offered  a  rare  feast  to  the  scantily-supplied  scholars 
of  this  region.  Some  of  them  were  on  Church  Polity  and  these 
proved  especially  fascinating  to  a  group  consisting  of  President 
Cutler,  Samuel  Johnson,  Jared  Eliot,  John  Hart,  Samuel  Whittel- 
sey,  James  Wetmore,  and  Daniel  Brown,  all  ministers  of  promi- 
nence. They  met  from  time  to  time  in  the  library  and  with  their 
readings  engaged  in  earnest  discussion  on  What  was  the  true  organi- 
zation for  a  church  ?  and  What  constituted  valid  ordination  ?  The  result 
was  a  paper  presented  to  the  College  Trustees  at  Commencement 
questioning  the  usual  ordination  and  declaring  for  Episcopacy. 
Three  of  the  group  who  had  only  doubted  concerning  ordination 
became  satisfied  on  this  subject,  but  the  others  went  on  to  become 


THE   GREAT   AWAKENING.  289 

Episcopalians.  The  action  set  all  New  England  in  a  ferment  con- 
cerning the  meaning  of  their  church  order  and  how  it  was  to  be 
justified. 

The  other  incident  is  of  Edwards.  He  was  then  a  young  man 
of  nineteen,  ministering  to  a  small  church  in  New  York,  and  there 
made  a  new  dedication  of  himself  to  God,  vowing,  "for  the  future 
to  be  in  no  respect  his  own,  but  to  act  as  one  who  had  no  right  to 
himself  in  anything."  And  in  accord  with  this,  he  "used  to  retire 
frequently  into  a  solitary  place  on  the  banks  of  Hudson's  river,  at 
some  distance  from  the  city,  for  contemplation  on  divine  things 
and  secret  converse  with  God."  This  was  the  beginning  of  that 
"  enduement  of  power  "  which  swayed  the  people  as  in  a  new  pen- 
tecost. 

Edwards  was  a  tutor  in  Yale  College  for  two  years,  1724-1726. 
He  married  in  1727  Sarah  Pierpont,  a  daughter  of  Rev.  James 
Pierpont.  Her  sister  was  the  wife  of  Rev.  Joseph  Noyes,  and  her 
brother  was  Mr.  James  Pierpont,  who  became  very  prominent 
afterward  in  church  affairs.  This  made  New  Haven  almost  like 
another  home  to  the  great  divine. 

His  ministry  in  Northampton  was  begun  in  1727,  and  in  1735 
came  the  first  stirrings  of  that  religious  movement  which  swept 
over  the  country  and  turned  men's  minds  to  thinking  on  those 
profound  themes  of  sin  and  righteousness  and  judgment,  of  con- 
duct and  character,  of  peace  with  God  and  eternal  redemption. 

This  was  essentially  an  intellectual  movement,  as  every  sound 
religious  awakening  must  be.  Starting  with  the  greatest  intellect 
of  the  period,  it  soon  drew  to  itself  other  men  of  the  highest  attain- 
ments who  gave  to  it  their  ardent  support  and  untiring  exertions. 
Among  these  were  Rev.  Benjamin  Colman  D.D.,  and  Rev.  Wil- 
liam Cooper  of  Boston,  both  of  whom  were  chosen  to  the  presi- 
dency of  Harvard  College,  though  they  never  served ;  Rev.  Jona- 
than Dickinson,  D.D.,  the  first  president  of  Nassau  Hall,  now 
Princeton  University,  and  Rev.  Samuel  Finley,  one  of  his  succes- 
sors ;  Rev.  Eleazer  Wheelock,  D.D.,  who  instituted  Moore's  Indian 
School  at  Lebanon,  and  became  the  first  president  of  Dartmouth 
College ;  Rev.  Joseph  Bellamy,  D.D.,  who  afterward  conducted  a 
famous  Divinity  School  at  Bethlehem  and  trained  many  eminent 
ministers  for  their  work  ;  Rev.  Samuel  Hopkins,  D.D.,  a  theo- 
logian of  eminence  and  the  first  great  advocate  of  the  abolition 
of  American  slavery  ;  Rev.  David  Brainerd  the  missionary  to  the 
Indians,  and  a  multitude  of  others,  the  brightest  and  most  earnest

minds ;  who  worked  intensely  at  that  season  of  opportunity, 
and  grew  able  by  working,  so  that  they  could  inaugurate  large 
educational  plans  and  give  them  permanence  in  institutions. 

In  the  excitement  that  attended  the  work,  there  came  in  many 
extravagances  and  follies.  This  was  inevitable  in  a  popular  agita- 
tion so  universal  and  profound.  Every  high  tide  throws  up  refuse 
on  the  shore.     But  the  refuse  is  not  the  tide. 

With  the  beginning  of  the  interest  in  Northampton  under 
Edwards  there  was  a  similar  work  in  New  Haven  which  united 
Christians  generally  and  had  their  fullest  approval. 

In  1739,  Rev.  George  Whitefield  came  to  America,  and,  having 
preached  to  large  crowds  in  Philadelphia,  New  York  and  other 
places,  accepted  an  urgent  invitation  of  certain  Boston  ministers 
to  come  to  New  England.  His  work  in  Boston  and  vicinity  was 
received  with  favor  and  produced  a  profound  impression  on  the 
thousands  who  gathered  to  hear  him  ;  this  impression  remained 
after  he  had  gone  and  bore  fruit  in  revived  life  among  the  churches. 

From  Boston  he  went  to  Northampton,  having  an  especial  desire 
to  see  Edwards  on  account  of  the  revival  of  1735.  This  visit  was 
most  happy  in  all  ways.  Throngs  gathered  to  listen  to  the  great 
preacher  and  multitudes  were  turned  to  a  religious  life.  A  strong 
attachment  grew  up  between  the  two  great  workers  for  souls,  con- 
tinuing as  long  as  they  lived. 

Whitefield  went  from  there  to  New  Haven,  where  he  was  enter- 
tained by  Mr.  James  Pierpont,  the  brother  of  Mrs.  Edwards.  The 
Legislature  was  in  session  and  he  remained  from  Thursday  till 
after  the  Lord's  day,  preaching  with  the  usual  results  :  of  which 
Governor  Talcott  said,  **  Thanks  be  to  God  for  such  refreshings 
on  our  way  to  heaven." 

Up  to  this  time  there  had  been  unity  and  harmony  in  the  New 
Haven  church.  But  not  long  after,  a  division  ensued  which 
widened  till  it  involved  the  whole  community.  The  occasion  of 
the  division  is  plainly  given  as  dissatisfaction  with  the  pastor, 
Rev.  Joseph  Noyes,  who  was  then  in  the  25th  year  of  his  ministry  : 
but  the  line  of  cleavage  was  between  friends  of  the  new  movement 
and  those  more  conservative  people  who  looked  upon  it  with  deep 
concern. 

It  may  be  significant  that  Whitefield  came  while  the  Legislature 
was  in  session  and  had  the  representatives  to  hear  him.  How  he 
preached  or  what  particular  points  he  touched,  at  this  time,  we  are 
not  told.     We   only  know  how  he  usually  preached.      He  was

fervent,  incisive  and  bold,  uttering  truth  in  a  way  to  stir  the 
conscience,  and  to  lead  men  to  decisions  which  changed  the  whole 
trend  of  their  life.  It  was  only  natural,  therefore,  that  he  should 
have  set  these  New  Haven  hearers  to  defining  their  positions — 
members  of  the  General  Court  as  well  as  others. 

After  his  departure,  there  arose  a  number  of  itinerant  preachers 
who  devoted  themselves  to  carrying  on  the  work  after  his  methods. 
Among  these  was  Rev.  James  Davenport,  a  great  grandson  of 
Rev.  John  Davenport,  the  founder.  His  father  was  Rev.  John 
Davenport  of  Stamford  :  his  mother  Elizabeth  Morris  of  New 
Haven,  sister  of  the  John  Morris  alluded  to  on  page  J04:  and  his 
brother  was  Abraham  Davenport  famed  for  his  coolness  on  "the 
dark  day,"  which  Whittier  describes  in  one  of  his  poems.  He  was 
educated  at  Yale  College,  where  he  was  graduated  in  1732,  with  a 
class  of  32  members,  one  of  whom  was  his  brother  Abraham.  He 
had,  therefore,  listened  to  Mr.  Noyes'  preaching  and  been  under 
his  pastoral  care  during  the  impressible  period  of  his  college  life. 
He  was  related  to  many  New  Haven  families,  and  the  people,  we 
may  suppose,  felt  a  special  interest  in  him  because  of  his  name 
and  ancestry. 

For  a  number  of  years  he  had  been  the  esteemed  pastor  at  South- 
old,  L.  I.,  before  Whitefield  came.  His  uncle  by  marriage  was 
Rev.  Eleazar  Wheelock,  who  had  been  conspicuous  in  the  revival 
of  1735,  and  was  now  one  of  the  ablest  itinerants.  Mr.  Davenport 
concluded  that  he  too  was  called  to  this  sort  of  work  and  left  his 
parish  to  engage  in  it. 

He  proved  to  be  ill-balanced  and  his  heated  imagination  led  him 
to  wild  extravagances.  Coming  to  New  Haven  less  than  a  year 
after  Whitefield's  visit,  he  found  the  effects  of  that  visit  remaining 
and  perhaps  already  grown  to  a  wide  spread  dissatisfaction  with 
the  condition  of  things  in  the  church.  Certainly  the  movement 
for  a  new  society  was  clearly  defined  too  soon  after  Mr.  Daven- 
port's arrival  for  us  to  suppose  that  it  began  with  him. 

A  leader  in  the  revolt  was  Mr.  James  Pierpont,  son  of  the  former 
pastor  and  brother  of  Mrs.  Noyes  and  Mrs.  Edwards,  with  whom 
Whitefield  was  entertained  during  his  stay.  Many  others  were 
associated  with  him  who  had  always  lived  in  New  Haven  and 
grown  up  in  the  old  church.  The  names  of  38  men  were  enrolled 
on  the  paper  brought  into  the  Society's  meeting  in  December. 
How  many  other  men  less  outspoken,  and  how  many  women 
besides,  were  of  like  mind,  we  are  left  to  conjecture.     No  doubt 


292  ISAAC'   DICKERMAN   OF   NEW   HAVEN. 

there  were  enough  to  make  a  deal  of  noise  in  a  place  of  two  or 
three  thousand  people. 

Coming  back  to  familiar  scenes,  mingling  among  old  friends, 
his  mind  already  charged  to  overflowing  with  the  fervor  that  was 
abroad  in  the  land,  we  can  imagine  his  emotions  as  he  talked  with 
one  and  another  who  spoke  of  the  saintly  Pierpont,  the  faithful 
Street,  or  his  own  great  sire  and  the  godly  ministry  of  other  days, 
while  bemoaning  the  evil  times  on  which  the  church  had  now 
fallen.  Much  has  been  said  of  the  mischief  this  young  man 
wrought  in  the  community.  Possibly  too  little  has  been  said  of 
the  mischief  the  community  wrought  in  the  young  man.  We  can 
hardly  question  his  high  motives,  and  his  later  life  proves  that  he 
was  not  an  utter  hypocrite. 

For  a  time  he  was  allowed  to  preach  in  the  church  but  behaved 
in  such  a  way  that  he  could  not  be  tolerated  there.  He  took 
ground  against  the  pastor  as  an  unworthy  man  and  publicly 
declaimed  about  him  in  the  harshest  manner.  His  course  in 
general  was  so  passionate,  so  headstrong,  so  grotesque, — altogether 
so  like  the  conduct  of  a  madman,  that  people  of  sound  judgment 
were  in  dismay. 

Most  of  the  community  rallied  to  the  support  of  their  pastor 
and  a  strong  reaction  set  in,  not  only  against  this  misguided 
enthusiast  but  against  Whitefield  and  the  whole  movement.' 
Those,  however,  who  were  disaffected  proceeded  to  take  steps 
for  organizing  another  society  and  presented  the  paper  already 
referred  to,  at  the  meeting  of  the  First  Society,  Dec.  28,  1741. 
This  paper  was  as  follows  : 

"To  the  First  Society  in  the  town  of  New  Haven: — Whereas  we,  the  sub- 
scribers, have,  by  long  and  sorrowful  experience,  found  that  the  preaching  and 
conduct  of  the  Rev.  Mr.  Noyes  has  been  in  great  measure  unprofitable  to  us, 
and  that  we  also  have  reason  to  think  that  he  difiers  from  us  in  some  points  of 
faith,  we  desire  (not  as  we  hope  out  of  any  prejudice  to  the  persons  of  Mr.  Noyes 
and  our  brethren  and  friends  of  the  society,  to  whom  we  heartily  wish  all  good), 
that  they  would  allow  us  and  others  that  may  incline  to  join  us,  to  draw  off  from 
them  in  charity,  wishing  to  be  a  distinct  society,  that  we  may  put  ourselves  under 
the  best  advantage  to  worship  God,  under  such  means,  as  he  in  his  good  provi- 
dence may  allow  and  we  hope  will  bless,  for  our  spiritual  good  and  edification." 

A  system  then  prevailed  under  which  the  churches  were  a  good 
deal  in  subjection  to  the  civil  power.  Salaries  and  expenses  of 
every  kind  were  paid  by  taxation  and  the  General  Court  was  in 
the  habit  of  interposing  when  the  affairs  of  a  church  were  not 
going  on  satisfactorily. 


COERCIVE   MEASURES.  293 

Here  was  a  case  where  such  interference  might  be  called  in  and 
it  was  not  long  before  the  opportunity  was  improved.  In  May 
1742,  the  General  Court  passed  a  law  forbidding  any  minister 
ordained  or  licensed  to  enter  the  parish  of  another  minister  to  preach 
there  without  an  invitation  from  him  and  a  majority  of  his  parish: 
and  ordering  that,  if  any  foreigner  or  stranger  should  violate  the 
law  he  should  be  sent  as  a  vagrant  from  "constable  to  constable" 
out  of  the  colony  ;  and  if  any  minister  in  the  colony  should  do  so 
he  should  be  deprived  of  his  salary  ;  and  if  any  unlicensed  person 
should  exhort  within  the  limits  of  any  parish  without  consent  of 
the  pastor  and  people  he  should  be  bound  to  keep  the  peace  in  the 
penal  sum  of  one  hundred  pounds. 

The  avowed  purpose  was  to  extinguish  the  "new  lights,"  as 
they  were  called,  and  this  purpose  was  followed  up  with  an  unre- 
lenting severity  which  reminds  us  more  of  the  oppressions  under 
Laud  and  Strafford  than  any  other  chapter  of  Connecticut  history. 
Rev.  Dr.  Button,  referring,  in  1859,  to  the  experience  of  those  who 
went  out  from  the  old  church  at  this  time,  gives  the  following 
account : 

"They  could  gain  no  permission  to  form  an  ecclesiastical  society,  nor  to  hold 
public  worship.  They  did  have  public  worship,  however,  but  under  much 
oppression.  For  eighteen  years  they  were  taxed  for  the  support  of  the  church 
which  they  had  left,  besides  bearing  a  heavy  voluntary  burden  for  the  support  of 
their  own  church.  Then,  for  a  large  part  of  that  eighteen  years  they  could  have 
no  regular  minister,  at  least,  not  without  having  him  molested,  fined  and  pun- 
ished by  the  officers  of  the  law.  For  attempting  to  preach  to  that  church  Rev. 
Samuel  Finley — afterward  President  of  Princeton  College — was  arrested  and 
carried  out  of  the  colony  as  a  vagrant.  He  had  previously  been  treated  in  the 
same  way  for  preaching  to  a  church  'which  separated '  in  Milford."* 

There  will  be  occasion  to  refer  again  to  this  law  and  the  spirit 
of  intolerance  which  prevailed  in  the  account  to  be  given  of  Rev. 
Philemon  Robbins  of  Branford. 

It  becomes  an  interesting  question,  What  part  Isaac  Dickerman 
bore  in  these  proceedings  ?  He  was  now  in  his  64th  year,  having 
been  a  deacon  for  thirteen  years  and  a  member  of  the  society's 
committee  for  the  same  length  of  time,  besides  holding  important 
civil  offices.  Moreover,  in  serving  on  committees  of  the  General 
Court  he  probably  had  seen  more  of  church  quarrels  and  how  it 
was  necessary  to  manage  them  than  any  other  man  in  town. 

It  was  evidently  fitting  that   a   magistrate  and    officer   of   the 

*  Ecclesiastical  History  of  Connecticut,  page  120. 


294  ISAAC    DICKERMAN   OF  NEW   HAVEN. 

church,  in  such  a  position  of  affairs,  should  be  careful  to  stand 
aloof  from  both  parties  and  hold  himself  in  a  judicial  attitude, 
where,  in  case  of  a  trial  he  could  give  a  decision  that  would  be 
taken  as  unbiased. 

The  indications  are  that  this  was  his  course,  steadily  pursued 
for  some  thirteen  years.  In  going  carefully  through  the  First 
Society's  records  for  this  period,  one  fails  to  discover  a  sign  of 
leaning  toward  one  side  or  the  other.  He  seems  to  be  intent  on 
holding  the  balances  with  an  even  hand,  a  truo.  Justice  of  the  Peace. 

When  that  memorial  asking  permission  to  form  a  new  society 
was  presented,  he  was  a  member  of  the  standing  committee,  and 
it  devolved  on  him  with  seven  others  to  "  treat  with  Mr.  Noyes 
and  Mr.  James  Pierpont  and  others  what  is  proposed  to  be  done 
in  this  critical  day."  And  from  year  to  year  he  was  reelected  on 
that  committee  through  the  whole  dreary  struggle.  All  the  other 
members  were  changed,  but  he  was  continued  as  long  as  he  lived 
— strongest  proof  that  he  was  a  man  in  whose  judgment  the  peo- 
ple trusted. 

Turning  to  the  reports  of  the  Connecticut  General  Assembly, 
however,  we  come  upon  a  fact  to  arrest  our  attention.  In  Oct. 
1740,  Isaac'  Dickerman  is  not  returned  to  this  body,  and  for  12  con- 
secutive terms  his  name  is  missed.  He  had  been  the  representa- 
tive for  44  terms  previous  to  this  ;  he  was  chosen  for  15  terms 
after  this  ;  but  here  he  is  absent  for  12  terms  ;  and  the  first  of  these 
is  that  which  follows  the  coming  of  James  Davenport  to  New 
Haven.* 

It  will  be  remembered  that  there  was  an  emergency  touching 
Yale  College  when  he  was  first  chosen  in  1718,  and  that  the  dan- 
gers then  imminent  were  averted  by  the  prudent  conciliatory  pol- 
icy pursued.  Here  was  another  emergency,  and  it  would  seem  to 
us  to-day  that,  if  ever  there  was  need  of  a  conciliatory  course,  this 
was  a  time  for  it.  But  the  strength  of  popular  sentiment  was  for 
coercion.  Isaac'  Dickerman  was  not  the  man  for  that  sort  of  work. 
And  so  he  was  left  at  home. 

The  representatives  chosen  were  Mr.  John  Hitchcock  and  Cap- 
tain Jonathan  Ailing.  Both  of  these  had  been  in  the  Assembly 
before,  at  different  times,  as  colleagues  of  Isaac'  Dickerman.  They 
were  now  there  together  and  were  regularly  returned  till  Oct. 

*  He  was  in  the  Assembly  as  follows :  May,  1718  to  October,  1723  ;  October,  1724  to  May,  1736 ; 
October,  1737  to  May,  1741 ;  October,  1747  to  May,  1751 ;  May,  1752  to  May,  1753 ;  May,  1756  to 
October,  1757. 


CONCILIATORY   MEASURES.  295 

1744,  when  Captain  John  Hubbard  was  chosen  in  the  place  of 
Captain  Ailing, — though  Mr.  Hitchcock  was  still  continued  till, 
in  Oct.  1847,  he  was  displaced  by  the  return  of  Captain  Dicker- 
man. 

In  the  Society's  records,  April  18,  1744,  is  the  entry  ; 

"Voted  that  Col.  Joseph  Whiting  Esq.  and  Capt.  Jonathan  Ailing  and  Dea. 
John  Hitchcock,  be  agents  or  attorneys  for  said  Society,  to  take  advice,  and 
represent  to  the  Hon.  General  Assembly,  the  doings  of  said  separatists,  in  case 
they  do  not  desist, — and  prosecute  them  in  the  law,  if  it  be  thought  advisable." 

This  action  was  taken  in  view  of  proceedings  begun  by  the 
withdrawing  church  for  the  erection  of  a  house  of  worship.  Their 
selection  for  such  a  committee  was  quite  fitting,  as  giving  them 
opportunity  for  carrying  out  the  policy  embodied  in  their  legisla- 
tion. 

At  the  same  meeting  another  committee  was  appointed. 

"The  Society  entering  upon  the  consideration  of  the  separate  party's  raising 
a  meeting-house  .  .  .  voted  that  the  same  is  very  grievous  to  the  said  Society, 
and  that  they  esteem  it  very  hurtful  to  the  public  peace  of  said  Society;  and 
that  Col.  Joseph  Whiting,  Esq.,  Dr.  John  Hubbard  and  Mr.  Jonathan  Mansfield 
be  a  committee  from  said  Society,  immediately  to  represent  to  said  separatists 
that  their  doings  herein  are  unlawful  and  hurtful  and  esteemed  a  public 
nuisance,  and  to  desire  them  forthwith  to  desist  in  their  work." 

Efforts  were  made  in  the  society  to  bring  about  a  reconciliation 
between  the  two  parties.  It  was  plain  from  the  beginning  that 
this  could  only  be  done  by  having  some  other  preacher  besides 
Mr.  Noyes. 

The  committee  to  whom  the  memorial  was  referred  advised, 

"That  Mr.  Noyes  be  asked  to  call  in  the  assistance  of  Rev.  William  Russell 
of  Middletown,  and  Rev.  Jonathan  Edwards  of  Northampton,  to  consult  meas- 
ures to  promote  peace  amongst  us,  and  to  advise  the  church  and  society  in  so 
important  an  affair." 

The  society  adopted  the  suggestion.  Mr.  Russell  and  Mr. 
Edwards  came.  After  consultation  they  advised  obtaining  a  col- 
league for  Mr.  Noyes.  This  advice  was  accepted  and  measures 
instituted  to  carry  it  into  effect. 

The  invitation  was  tendered  to  Rev.  Aaron  Burr  of  Newark, 
then  to  Mr.  Chauncey  Whittlesey  ;  but  nothing  was  accomplished, 
and  it  was  the  impression  that  Mr.  Noyes  did  not  heartily  favor 
it,  though  it  continued  to  be  talked  about. 


296  ISAAC'   DICKERMAN   OF   NEW   HAVEN. 

Meanwhile  the  separate  church  became  definitely  organized  and 
continued  to  grow,  notwithstanding  the  opposition.  In  1744, 
Whitefield  made  another  visit  to  America.  The  General  Associa- 
tion of  Connecticut,  hearing  of  his  intention  to  pass  this  way, 
voted  their  disapproval  and  advised  that  ministers  should  not 
admit  him  to  their  pulpits.  He  came  to  New  Haven  in  1745,  and 
was  not  invited  to  Mr.  NoyeS'  pulpit ;  but  a  platform  was  made 
before  Mr.  Pierpont's  house  and  he  preached  to  a  congregation  so 
large  that  neither  of  the  churches  could  have  held  it.  This,  like 
other  things,  helped  the  new  church,  and  was  no  benefit  to  the  old. 

The  "new  lights"  now  had  their  house  of  worship,  and  preach- 
ing— sometimes  from  men  who  were  among  the  most  attractive  in 
the  country — Wheelock,  Bellamy  and  others.  The  air  of  New 
Haven  was  not  congenial  to  religious  persecution,  and  the  more 
it  was  tried  the  stronger  grew  the  movement  at  which  it  was 
aimed. 

About  1747-8,  it  became  evident  that  the  new  church  had  come 
to  stay,  and  the  common  sense  of  the  community  began  to  accept 
the  situation.  Mr.  Noyes  saw  that  it  might  be  well  for  him  to 
have  a  colleague  if  one  could  be  obtained  to  suit  him,  and  sug- 
gested it  of  his  own  accord. 

Jan.  1'^48-g.  Voted  in  the  Society  "  that  Rev.  Mr.  Clap,  Isaac  Dicker- 
man  and  John  Hitchcock  be  a  committee  of  the  Society  to  procure  some  gentle- 
man on  trial  in  order  for  a  colleague  with  Mr.  Noyes." 

Jan.  I7SO-  Voted  in  the  Church  to  the  same  effect,  and  the  same  committee 
was  appointed. 

Then  comes  an  effort  for  conciliation. 

Jan.  /J-,  jy4g-jo.  "  Voted,  that  Messrs.  Isaac  Dickerman,  John  Hitchcock, 
John  Hubbard,  James  Pierpont,  Jos.  Mix,  Jos.  Trowbridge,  Samuel  Cook, 
Chauncey  Whittelsey,  James  Peck,  Jr.  .Abraham  Thompson  and  John  Potter  be 
a  committee  to  consider  the  present  state  of  the  society  with  relation  to  the 
religious  differences  subsisting  among  us,  and  propose  some  scheme  for  a  union 
or  preventing  further  separation." 

Four  of  these  names  are  of  the  "separatist"  party,  James  Pier- 
pont, Jos.  Mix,  Samuel  Cook  and  Abraham  Thompson.  This 
indicates  a  growing  spirit  of  toleration,  though  the  committee 
seems  never  to  have  made  a  report. 

In  1 75 1,  Rev.  Samuel  Bird  was  called  to  be  pastor  of  the  new 
church  and  conditioned  his  acceptance  on  a  removal  of  the  diffi- 
culties with  the  First  Church.     Steps  were  taken  to  bring  about 


THE  CHURCH   IN  YALE   COLLEGE.  297 

reconciliation,  but  meeting  with  no  response  from  the  First 
Church,  Mr.  Bird  was  settled  without  it.  He  proved  to  be  an 
acceptable  pastor  and  preacher  and  his  church  rapidly  increased 
in  numbers  and  in  strength. 

The  ajffairs  of  the  First  Church  now  became  critical.  It  was  a 
serious  thing  not  to  have  acceptable  preaching  in  their  house,  and 
more  serious  now  than  ever  before.  Dr.  Bacon  in  his  ^^ Historical 
Discourses" p.  240,  tells  a  story  that  illustrates  the  situation. 

"President  Clap  once  undertook  to  expostulate  with  Mr.  Noyes  for  not 
preaching  better.  '  You  do  not  know,'  said  Mr.  Noyes,  '  what  an  ignorant  peo- 
ple I  have  to  preach  to.'  '  Yes,  I  do,'  said  the  President,  '  and  I  know  that  as 
long  as  you  preach  to  them  in  this  way,  they  always  will  be  ignorant.'" 

President  Clap  had  to  consider  the  interests  of  the  college 
and  of  the  students  who  attended  Mr.  Noyes'  preaching.  We  can 
be  sure  that  he  did  not  lag  in  his  efforts  on  that  committee  to  get 
a  colleague  for  Mr.  Noyes  ;  and  as  Capt.  Dickerman  had  been 
trying  for  over  ten  years  to  bring  about  this  very  thing,  it  is  not 
likely  that  he  was  idle  about  it. 

Something  happened  now  which  led  both  of  these  men  to  quit 
Mr.  Noyes  and  the  First  Church  at  about  the  same  time.  Dr. 
Bacon  suggests  that  the  "  President  and  the  other  members  of  the 
College  Corporation  appear  to  have  become  convinced  that  Mr. 
Noyes  was  at  heart  opposed  to  receiving  a  colleague  ;  and  that  he 
had  art  enough  to  defeat  all  efforts  to  that  end."  If  this  was  the 
case  it  also  affords  ample  explanation  for  the  course  of  his  com- 
panion on  the  committee. 

In  1753,  President  Clap  took  the  students  away  from  the  First 
Church  and  commenced  public  worship  in  the  college  hall  ;  and 
in  April,  1754,  Capt.  Dickerman  joined  the  White  Haven  Church.* 

It  is  a  noteworthy  coincidence  that  in  Oct.  1753,  a  little  after  the 
withdrawal  of  the  College  people  from  the  First  Church,  Isaac 
Dickerman  is  again  missed  from  the  General  Assembly  and  is  not 
returned  for  the  next  two  years. 

A  recent  writer  on  these  events  suggests  that  political  motives 

*  "  April  2,  1754,  Deacon  Isaac  Dickerman  as  a  token  of  his  love  and  affection  hath  given  a 
piece  of  plate  to  this  Church  as  follows,  viz.  A  silver  cup  with  two  handles  containing  about  a 
pint  beer  measure  marked  at  the  bottom  with  the  capital  letters  I  -^  K  to  be  used  by  the  Church 
in  remembrance  of  the  donor." — First  Church  Records. 

It  is  pleasant  to  think  that  the  First  Church  has  been  using  the  parting  gift  of  this  venerable 
deacon,  during  all  these  years,  at  the  Lord's  Supper,  the  sacred  feast  of  Christian  fellowship  and 
mutual  love. 


298  ISAAC*   DICKERMAN   OF   NEW   HAVEN. 

had  much  to  do  with  the  positions  men  look.  Such  an  explana- 
tion is  to  be  tested  by  individual  cases.  And  in  this  case,  what 
political  motive  could  have  led  to  the  attitude  taken  by  Isaac 
Dickerman  at  the  beginning  of  the  strife — or  to  his  new  attitude 
under  these  changed  conditions  ?  Instead  of  bringing  a  political 
advantage  in  either  case,  it  cost  him  his  seat  in  the  Assembly — or 
at  least  it  looks  so. 

It  would  seem  as  if  his  uniting  with  the  **  separatists "  must 
have  led  to  his  dismissal  from  the  Society's  committee,  but  it  did 
not  ;  he  was  re-elected  every  year  after  this,  the  same  as  before  : 
while  with  him  on  the  committee  were  John  Hubbard,  John 
Hitchcock,  Jonathan  Ailing  and  Jonathan  Mansfield,  all  staunch 
adherents  of  Mr.  Noyes  and  identified  with  the  coercive  measures. 

In  the  early  list  of  disaffected  members  we  do  not  find  the 
name  of  any  descendant  of  Abraham"  Dickerman,  but  when 
Isaac'  Dickerman  united  with  the  White  Haven  Church  he  seems 
to  have  taken  a  number  with  him,  and  in  the  roll  of  Mr.  Bird's 
party,  subscribed  in  1757,  we  find  his  two  sons  Jonathan"  and 
Stephen",  while  SamueP's  name  is  not  down  in  either  party. 
Probably  he  had  joined  the  church  at  North  Haven,  as  in  1758  he 
was  one  of  the  society's  committee  at  Mt.  Carmel.  After  the 
death  of  their  father,  Jonathan"  joined  the  Mt.  Carmel  church  ; 
Stephen*  returned  to  the  First  Church  and  his  name  is  on  the  roll 
made  out  by  the  General  Assembly  Oct.  1759.  ^^  ^^is  roll,  too, 
are  found  the  names  of  Susannah,  Joseph"  and  John^  Dickerman 
who  had  steadily  adhered  to  the  First  Church. 

With  this  new  withdrawal  of  members,  things  were  hastened  to 
a  crisis  in  the  First  Church,  and  it  was  plain  that  the  "  separ- 
atists "  were  likely  very  soon  to  have  control  of  the  Ecclesiastical 
Society. 

In  1755,  Rev.  Naphtali  Daggett  was  elected  Professor  of 
Divinity  in  the  College,  and,  proving  to  be  an  acceptable  preacher, 
an  effort  was  made  to  have  him  become  a  colleague  with  Mr. 
Noyes  and  bring  the  College  back  into  union  with  the  First 
Church.  A  call  was  extended  to  him  Jan.  12,  1756,  and  on  the 
same  day  a  vote  was  passed, 

"  That  this  Society  is  willing  that  those  inhabitants  who  ordinarily  attend  on 
the  ministry  of  Mr.  Bird  should  be  exempted  from  paying  any  part  of  such 
taxes"  as  might  be  laid  for  the  support  of  Mr.  Daggett,  "and  that  they  and 
their  posterity  be  made  a  body  corporate  or  ecclesiastical  society,  provided  they 
apply  to  the  General  Assembly  therefor  and  be  set  off  from  this  Society." 


TRIUMPH   OF   THE   "NEW   LIGHTS.  299 

The  call  to  Mr.  Daggett  was  declined,  the  College  corporation 
having  fully  decided  to  maintain  public  worship  within  their  own 
walls.  Action  was  then  taken,  Jan.  26,  1756,  for  a  division,  and  a 
committee  of  twelve  was  appointed,  of  which  Isaac'  Dickerman 
was  a  member, 

"To  consider  about  the  differences  in  the  Society  and  project  some  method 
or  plan  to  divide  this  Society  in  some  just  and  reasonable  manner." 

This  committee  does  not  appear  to  have  arrived  at  any  result. 
But  the  party  of  Mr.  Bird  was  constantly  gaining  and  had  come 
to  be  in  the  majority.  When  it  was  voted  to  appeal  to  the  Gen- 
eral Assembly,  Jan.  10,  1757,  to  have  two  societies  and  an  enroll- 
ment was  made,  there  were  found  to  be  109  in  Mr.  Noyes'  party 
and  212  in  that  of  Mr.  Bird. 

The  next  step  was  to  call  Mr.  Bird  to  be  the  Society's  pastor, 
to  arrange  for  him  to  hold  public  worship  in  the  "separatists'" 
house  and  to  vote  a  salary  for  his  maintenance.  This  was  done 
June  13,  1757,  and  Mr.  Bird  accepted  the  call.  No  salary  was 
provided  for  Mr.  Noyes,  but  the  following  vote  was  passed,  in 
which  we  see  a  grim  humor  : 

"  That  the  Society's  committee  be  a  committee  to  wait  on  Mr.  Noyes  and 
inform  him  what  salary  the  Society  have  granted  him  and  see  if  he  will  accept 
thereof  for  his  salary  the  coming  year  ;  also  voted  that  the  said  Society's  com- 
mittee be  a  committee  to  wait  on  the  Rev.  Mr.  Bird  with  the  foregoing  vote, 
relating  to  his  maintenance,  &c. ,  and  see  if  he  will  accept  thereof  and  report 
their  doings  to  the  Society  at  the  next  meeting." 

This  action  was  followed  Oct.  10,  following,  with  another  vote 
giving  a  number  of  reasons  for  it,  and  stating 

"  That  the  Society  think  it  not  reasonable  to  grant  further  support  for  the 
Rev.  Mr.  Noyes  or  that  he  should  continue  to  preach  any  longer  in  this  Society. 
Therefore  voted  that  Messrs.  Isaac  Dickerman,  Timothy  Jones,  David  Wooster, 
Samuel  Cook,  John  Eliot,  Daniel  Lyman  and  Phineas  Bradley  be  a  committee 
to  wait  on  the  Rev.  Mr.  Noyes  and  inform  him  that  for  the  foregoing  reasons  it 
is  the  desire  of  this  Society  that  he  should  desist  his  ministerial  labors  in  this 
place  and  that  no  further  provision  will  be  made  for  his  support." 

This  shows  that  the  long  struggle  was  practically  ended  in  the 
triumph  of  the  party  which  for  eighteen  years  had  been  contend- 
ing for  freedom  of  worship.  There  were  further  incidents  before 
affairs  were  finally  and  equitably  adjusted,  but  the  end  was  no 
longer  in  doubt. 

It  is  interesting  to  observe  that  four  months  later,  Feb.  28,  1758, 
Mr.  Chauncey  Whittelsey  was  ordained  to  be  a  colleague  pastor 


300  ISAAC'   DICKERMAN   OF   NEW   HAVEN. 

of  Mr.  Noyes.  Oddly  enough  this  was  done  against  a  protest  of 
the  Society,  voted  Feb.  7,  1758,  at  a  meeting  of  which  Isaac'  Dick- 
erman  was  moderator.  Nevertheless  it  proved  a  happy  event  and 
greatly  helped  the  solution  of  difficulties.  One  cannot  help  think- 
ing how  much  trouble  might  have  been  saved  if  Mr.  Noyes  had 
gracefully  yielded  to  the  advice  of  his  friends  at  the  outset  and 
heartily  co-operated  in  their  efforts  to  obtain  an  assistant  pastor. 

With  these  events  the  life  of  Isaac*  Dickerman  draws  to  its 
close.  He  is  now  eighty  years  of  age  and  his  interest  in  public 
concerns  has  not  flagged  nor  his  activity  ceased  in  passing  the 
line  of  four-score.  He  was  at  the  last  three  Society  meetings  held 
before  his  death  and  presided  over  them  as  moderator  ;  the  last 
was  on  May  3,  1758,  and  the  September  following  he  passed  away. 

Over  one  hundred  and  twenty  years  had  gone  since  his  father 
was  carried  up,  as  a  little  child,  from  the  landing  at  Dorchester, 
and  these  two  lives  spanned  the  whole  cycle.  A  century  had 
passed  since  the  marriage  of  Abraham  Dickerman  and  Mary 
Cooper,  and  now  there  were  some  two  hundred  families  which 
had  sprung  from  them,  and  their  descendants  were  upward  of 
four  hundred.  In  the  country  all  around  they  were  to  be  found 
in  thriving  homesteads,  energetically  engaged  in  subduing  the 
wild  lands  and  laying  with  solid  materials  the  foundations  of  a 
new  era — at  East  Haven,  Woodbridge,  Branford,  Mt.  Carmel, 
North  Haven,  Cheshire  and  Wallingford.  Latent  in  these  were 
volumes  of  history  yet  to  be  written.  David  Beecher  was  already 
hammering  on  his  anvil  in  New  Haven,  Jonah  Todd  was  practic- 
ing medicine  in  New  Milford,  Major  Isaac  Foote  had  already  fin- 
ished his  bright  career  as  a  Christian  soldier.  Chandler  and  Ammi 
Robbins  were  pursuing  their  studies  in  preparation  for  the  min- 
istry, and  others  whose  names  are  unknown  to  fame  were  doing 
their  work  with  equal  fidelity. 

During  those  eighty  years  in  which  Isaac'  Dickerman  lived, 
wonders  had  been  wrought,  and  the  preparation  of  greater  won- 
ders to  come.  Especially  was  this  so  during  the  last  forty  years. 
This  had  been  a  period  of  intellectual  as  well  as  physical  energy. 
There  had  been  furious  contentions,  and  great  bitterness  and 
many  a  sin  against  the  spirit  of  charity,  but  in  it  all  there  had 
been  honest,  earnest  thought  and  a  growing  interest  in  getting  at 
the  truth  of  things.  In  the  attrition  of  the  strife  mental  incrusta- 
tions were  scoured  off  ;  habits  of  lethargy  were  lost  ;  people 
became  more  genuine,  more  intense  in  their  stirrings  of  soul  and 
more  alive. 


SIGNIFICANCE   OF   THE   PERIOD.  30I 

In  this  there  was  a  stride  forward  for  the  whole  people  ;  "  old 
lights"  or  "new  lights,"  everybody  was  thinking  differently  in 
1758  from  what  they  did  in  1718,  and  their  thinking  was  a  vast 
deal  better — clearer,  sounder,  more  sensible  as  well  as  more 
spiritual.  The  founding  and  growth  of  colleges  is  a  sign  of  this, 
and  the  great  multiplication  of  churches  is  another  sign.  There 
was  a  hunger  for  soul  food,  for  sharp  distinctions,  for  positive 
convictions,  for  the  basal  laws  of  conduct.  Hence  the  pro- 
duction of  philosophical  works  like  those  of  Edwards.  This 
was  his  period  and  he  died  in  this  same  closing  year,  1758. 

In  this  intellectual  and  spiritual  growth,  there  was  progress  also 
in  the  direction  of  an  independent  nationality.  This  is  set  forth 
by  Dr.  Leonard  Bacon  in  the  following  passage  : 

"  During  the  period  which  has  now  been  reviewed,  the  country  was  passing 
through  the  struggles  of  the  '  old  French  wars.'  The  French  monarchy  had 
formed  a  gigantic  scheme  of  dominion  in  America.  Having  possessed  itself  of 
the  Mississippi  and  the  St.  Lawrence,  it  was  stretching  a  chain  of  forts  and  trad- 
ing stations  from  one  to  the  other,  and  was  designing  to  sweep  the  English  from 
the  continent.  Two  protracted  wars,  of  which  the  greatest  brunt  and  burthen 
came  upon  New  England,  annihilated  that  ambitious  project.  The  first,  in 
which  France  and  Spain  were  allied  against  Great  Britain,  commenced  in  1740, 
and  ended  in  1748  with  the  treaty  of  Aix  la  Chapelle.  This  war  was  signalized 
by  that  most  adventurous  exploit  on  the  part  of  the  New  Englanders,  the  cap- 
ture of  Louisburg  ;  and  it  first  made  Great  Britain   acquainted  with  the  iron 

energy  that  was  developing  itself  in  this  unnoticed  corner  of  her  empire 

The  second  of  these  wars  commenced  in  1755,  and  ended  in  1760  with  the  con- 
quest of  Canada,  and  the  destruction  of  the  French  scheme  of  empire  on  this 
continent.  In  this  war  Connecticut  distinguished  herself  even  above  her  sister 
colonies.  She  had  no  immediate  interest.  Her  territory  was  not  invaded  ; 
her  hearths  and  her  altars  were  far  from  the  scene  of  conflict.  Yet,  year 
after  year  she  spontaneously  furnished  a  double  quota  of  men  and  of  all 
the  materials  of  war.  For  three  successive  campaigns  she  kept  in  the  field,  at 
her  own  expense,  an  army  of  five  thousand  men — hardy  freeholders  who  knew 
how  great  was  the  prize  for  which  they  were  contending,  and  who,  by  that  lavish 
expenditure  of  treasure  and  of  blood,  opened  the  boundless  west  to  be  planted 
by  the  sons  of  New  England  and  to  be  filled  with  New  England  institutions. 
Thus  the  colonies  were  made  to  know  their  own  strength.  They  learned  that 
their  own  armed  yeomanry,  contending  for  their  rights,  for  their  hopes,  for  their 
posterity,  were  better  on  the  march  and  in  the  battle  than  the  mercenary  soldiers 
of  Britain.  And  when,  about  twelve  years  from  the  close  of  the  last  French 
war,  the  long  expected  crisis  came  and  the  country  rose  in  arms  to  the  awful 
struggle  for  its  independence,  all  was  ready.  Those  who  commanded  at  Bunker 
Hill,  those  who  formed  and  trained  the  continental  armies  and  led  them  to  their 
victories,  were  men  who,  in  the  preceding  conflicts,  had  learned  the  art  of  war 
by  contact  with  its  stern  realities." — Historical  Discourses,  pages  241-2. 


302  ISAAC*   DICKERMAN   OF   NEW   HAVEN. 

In  reviewing  the  incidents  of  Isaac'  Dickerman's  life,  diverse 
estimates  will  undoubtedly  be  formed  respecting  his  career.  But 
all  must  admire  his  energy,  his  judicial  temper  and  his  tireless 
devotion  to  public  interests.  He  not  only  shows  us  the  traits  of  a 
good  citizen,  but  many  qualities  of  the  statesman. 

As  he  became  advanced  in  life,  he  transferred  large  portions  of 
his  real  estate  to  his  sons. 

April  8,  1754,  he  deeded  to  Samuel*  164  acres,  with  half  of  109 
acres  more  and  a  dwelling  house  and  barn  ;  and  on  the  same  day 
he  deeded  130  acres  to  Jonathan*  with  the  other  half  of  the  109 
acres  and  a  dwelling  house  and  barn.  This  property  was  in 
Mt.  Carmel  and  included  the  farm  inherited  from  him  by  his  great- 
grandson  Ezra"  Dickerman,  The  dwelling  house  is  said  to  have 
stood  on  ground  a  few  yards  north  of  the  old  house  now  standing. 

A  large  package  of  deeds  made  by  the  original  owners  of  wild 
lands  in  this  region  to  Isaac'  Dickerman  has  been  handed  down 
in  the  family  and  is  now  in  possession  of  the  authors  of  this  work. 

May  10,  1756,  Isaac'  Dickerman  transferred  to  his  son  Stephen* 
half  of  his  dwelling  house  and  homestead  and  also  half  of  his 
land  in  Plainfield  and  Cooper's  Quarter.  This  was  property  in 
New  Haven,  and  the  whole  of  it  passed  to  Stephen*  Dickerman  by 
the  will  after  his  father's  death. 

The  estate  was  appraised  at;^7ii.  4.  9.,  of  which  ;^6o9.  4.  9.  was 
in  real  estate  and  included  about  245  acres  of  land. 

The  following  is  his  will,  as  found  in  New  Haven  Probate 
records  : 

At  a  Court  of  Probate  held  at  New  Haven  in  the  District  of  New  Haven  on

"  In  the  autumn  after  his  graduation  he  was  employed  as  teacher 
of  the  Hopkins  Grammar  School.  He  received  his  second  degree 
in  1739,  ^^^  is  starred  in  the  Triennial  Catalogue  of  1742.  He  is 
reported  to  have  died  in  1740.     He  was  probably  unmarried." 

Captain  Isaac'  Dickerman  was  buried  in  the  old  graveyard  on 
the  New  Haven  Green,  where  his  parents,  his  first  wife  and  three 
sons  were  laid  before  him.  On  the  removal  of  the  gravestones  in 
1820,  those  of  Abraham'  and  Mary  Dickerman  were  placed  in 
Grove  Street  cemetery  where  they  are  still  in  good  preservation, 
but  that  of  Captain  Isaac*  Dickerman  is  not  to  be  found.  We  are 
told  that  it  was  taken  possession  of  by  his  great  granddaughter 
Rebecca  Munson,  but  none  of  her  family  can  tell  where  it  is  now.

CHAPTER  XIII. 


ELIAKIM   HALL  OF  WALLINGFORD. 

**  The  growing  good  of  the  world  is  partly  dependent  on  unhistoric  acts  ;  and 
that  things  are  not  so  ill  with  you  and  me  as  they  might  have  been,  is  half  owing 
to  the  number  who  lived  faithfully  a  hidden  life  and  rest  in  unvisited  tombs." 

— George  Eliot. 

In  the  settlement  of  Wallingford,  begun  in  1670,  most  of  the 
people  were  from  New  Haven,  and  among  these  was  the  great 
grandfather  of  Eliakim  Hall.  His  name,  John  Hall,  is  in  the  list 
of  householders  at  New  Haven,  to  whom  lots  were  assigned  in  the 
first  division  of  outlands,  which  indicates  that  he  was  there 
before  1641. 

His  sons,  John,  Samuel  and  Thomas,  were  signers  of  the  first 
plantation  covenant,  entered  into  in  New  Haven  preparatory  to 
making  the  Wallingford  settlement,  though  his  own  name  does 
not  appear  till  the  covenant  of  1672.* 

The  position  of  Wallingford,  so  near  Farmington,  Middletown, 
Wethersfield,  Hartford  and  Windsor,  led  to  constant  intercourse 
with  those  towns  and  to  intermarriage  with  their  families,  out  of 
which  grew  ties  of  intimate  relationship.  So  the  ancestral  homes 
of  Wallingford  people  were  in  many  different  communities.  In 
this  they  differed  from  many  of  the  New  Haven  people.  This 
will  be  seen  on  comparing  Charts  X  and  XI  with  Charts  VI  and 
VII. 

The  mother  of  Eliakim  Hall  was  Mary  Lyman,  a  granddaughter 
of  Richard  and  Sarah  (Osborne)  Lyman,  who  came  from  England 
to  Boston  in  1631,  and  were  among  the  pioneers  who  founded 
Hartford  in  1640. 

In  the  lytnan  Family,  by  Rev.  Lyman  Coleman,  D.D.,  there  is  an 
extended  account  of  the  ancestry  of  Richard  Lyman  prepared  from 
English  records.  He  was  of  High  Ongar,  Essex  County,  and  was 
baptized  Oct.  30,  1580,  and  his  wife  was  a  daughter  of  Roger 
Osborne  of  Halstead  in  Kent. 

*  The  population  of  Wallingford  in  1756  was  3,713,  while  that  of  the  whole  county  was  only 
i79i5S°-    It  then  embraced  Cheshire,  which  was  made  a  separate  town  in  1780. 


308  ELIAKIM   HALL. 

Henry  Lyman,  his  father,  was  a  son  of  John  and  Margaret 
(Gerard)  Lyman. 

John  Lyman,  son  of  Henry  and  Alice  (Hyde)  Lyman. 

Henry  Lyman,  son  of  Thomas  and  Elizabeth  (Lambert)  Lyman. 

Elizabeth  Lambert,  daughter  of  William  Lambert  (twelfth  in 
descent  from  Sir  Rudulphus  Lambert  who  came  to  England  with 
William  the  Conqueror)  and  his  wife  Johanna  de  Umphreville. 
Johanna  de  Umphreville  was  dau.  of  Thomas,  son  of  Thomas,  son 
of  Gilbert  de  Umphreville.  Gilbert  de  Umphreville  was  son  of  Gilbert, 
(eighth  in  descent  from  Sir  Robert  de  Umphreville,  a  kinsman  of 
William  the  Conqueror,  who  came  with  him  to  England),  and  his 
mother  was  Matilda,  dau.  of  Malcolm,  fifth  earl  of  Angus,  from 
whom  the  line  is  readily  traceable  to  the  Kings  of  Briton,  Ireland 
and  Normandy,  and  back  to  the  beginning  of  the  ninth  century. 

It  is  easy  to  trace  one's  ancestry  to  crowned  usurpers,  titled 
freebooters  and  notorious  desperadoes,  like  those  who  came  to 
England  with  William,  much  easier  than  to  identify  that  larger 
and  better  ancestry  who  bravely  fought  them  in  defence  of  their 
homes  and  their  liberties,  or  in  a  meek  and  heavenly  spirit  suf- 
fered and  died  for  truth  and  the  right — the  innumerable  multitude 
of  heroes,  confessors  and  martyrs  of  Christian  England,  Scotland 
and  Ireland. 

If  the  lives  of  these  nameless  ones  could  speak  to  their  sons  and 
daughters  from  the  silence  which  covers  their  dust,  they  might 
bring  to  us  inspirations  that  would  help  us  to  be  worthy  of  their 
steadfastness  and  their  faith.  Such  inspirations  never  can  come 
from  William  or  his  robber  barons  ;  and  as  we  trace  the  story  of 
Richard  Lyman  and  his  descendants  in  America  we  shall  seldom 
be  reminded  of  them,  but  rather  of  the  gentle  heart,  the  attentive 
mind,  the  governed  will  of  truly  noble  souls. 

The  funeral  sermon  of  Eliakim  Hall  was  preached  by  his  son- 
in-law.  Rev.  Nathan  Williams,  D.D.  and  contained  the  following 
remarks  upon  his  character  : 

"  Few  children  are  so  happy  in  their  parents.  He  has  ever  manifested  the 
heart  of  a  kind  and  affectionate  father.  His  interest  was  never  detached  from 
theirs  and  to  the  utmost  of  his  abilities  he  endeavored  to  promote  their  good." 

"  With  a  compassionate  heart  and  a  liberal  hand  he  ministered  to  the  relief  of 
the  poor.  Nor  did  he  confine  his  charity  to  any  party  or  sect,  but  reached  forth 
the  hand  of  kindness  to  all  who  needed  his  assistance.  He  made  no  merit  of 
this,  and  never  sounded  a  trumpet  to  call  others  to  observe  his  deeds." 

"  He  took  great  pleasure  in  the  society  of  worthy  men,  and  was  much 
respected  by  his  numerous  acquaintance,  who  always  found  him  a  hospitable 


WALLINGFORD,   CONNECTICUT.  309 

friend.  He  was  a  worthy  member  of  society,  and,  with  a  ready  mind,  improved 
all  his  ability  to  promote  the  interests  of  church  and  state." 

"  He  was  a  friend  to  good  order,  to  virtue  and  religion,  and  remarkable  for  his 
care  to  attend  the  worship  of  God's  house  in  season  and  out  of  season.  In  this 
particular  no  man  could  set  an  example  more  Avorthy  of  imitation." 

"There  are  indeed  but  few  present  who  were  acquainted  with  him  in  the  early 
part  of  his  life.  He  was  favored  with  a  good  constitution  and  knew  well  how 
to  prize  and  improve  this  great  blessing." 

A  nephew  of  Mr.  Hall  was  Hon.  Lyman  Hall,  a  signer  of  the 
Declaration  of  Independence,  and  afterward  Governor  of  Georgia.

Mrs,  Eveline  T.  Stafford  writes  to  the  authors  the  following, 
Aug.  24,  1896  : 

"  Uncle  Abner  Hall,  your  grandmother's  twin  brother,  died  at  his  son  Mose- 
ley's  in  Vergennes  not  far  from  fifty  years  ago,  while  I  was  on  a  visit  to  Con- 
necticut with  my  grandparents,  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Moseley  Hall.  We  visited  at  your 
grandfather's  :  he  and  his  wife  were  both  blind  (Nicholas  and  Elizabeth  (Hall) 
Jones) :  after  breakfast  he  recited  a  chapter  in  the  Bible  and  I  think  my  grand- 
father led  in  prayer.  Abner  Hall  lived  within  sight  and  hearing  of  my  grand- 
father's, before  he  went  to  Cornwall,  Vt.  Mary's  mother  died  when  Mary  was 
a  babe  and  my  grandmother  took  her  and  kept  her  till  she  married. 

When  I  was  young  I  started  to  write  down  what  I  could  learn  and  what 
grandfather  could  tell  me  about  the  Hall  family,  but  finally  put  it  off  till  it  was 
too  late  to  write  as  much  as  1  meant  to.  Your  grandmother  had  one  sister  and 
four  brothers  who  lived  in  Wallingford,  Vt.  Day  Hall  had  land  there,  if  he  did 
not  live  there,  and  there  were  three  besides  him."

Nicholas  Jones  was  a  descendant  of  William  Jones,  who  married 
for  his  second  wife  Hannah  Eaton,  the  youngest  daughter  of  Gov- 
ernor Theophilus  Eaton,  and  was  himself  a  deputy  governor  of 
New   Haven   colony.      Governor  Jones   figured  prominently  in

colonial  affairs  and  was  on  the  committee  with  Abraham  Dicker- 
man  to  obtain  the  Wallingford  patent,  page  148.  His  grandson 
Theophilus  Jones  settled  in  Wallingford  and  became  the  father  of 
a  numerous  family. 

Nicholas  Jones  was  a  farmer  living  in  the  west  part  of  the  town 
and  his  farm  is  still  in  possession  of  the  family.  A  man  of  com- 
manding presence  whom  no  one  ever  thought  of  questioning,  he 
bore  a  resemblance  to  Andrew  Jackson,  though  he  was  not  one  of 
Jackson's  admirers,  being  a  strong  Whig.  When  General  Jack- 
son visited  Wallingford,  people  talked  of  this  resemblance,  to 
which  Mr.  Jones  quietly  replied  "  I  do  not  know  which  has  the 
compliment." 

When  he  was  a  young  man  he  taught  school  winters  in  a  dis- 
trict known  as  "  Parkers  Farm,"  some  two  miles  from  his  home. 
He  used  to  tell  how  "  he  got  up  in  the  morning  long  before  light, 
took  care  of  his  cattle,  then  set  out  for  the  woods  and  chopped 
awhile  on  his  way  to  school,  and  did  the  same  again  on  his  return, 
and  for  his  salary  as  a  teacher  received  $8.00  a  month,  which  was 
paid  by  the  girls  coming  and  spinning  his  tow  and  flax."  Natur- 
ally he  thought  his  grandchildren  all  ought  to  teach,  and  most  of 
them  did.  One  of  his  grandsons  tells  of  spending  a  night  at  his 
house  years  ago,  and  the  old  gentleman's  insisting  that  he  should 
mount  a  horse  and  go  off  twelve  miles  in  a  pouring  rain  to  apply 
for  a  school  where  the  pay  was  eleven  dollars  a  month  and  "  board 
around,"  The  young  man  would  not  go  and  said  he  could  do 
better,  at  which  "grandpa"  was  indignant  and  said  he  would  be 
"  lazing  around  all  winter  and  probably  never  amount  to  any- 
thing." A  few  days  later  the  grandson  was  there  again,  when  the 
attack  was  resumed,  urging  that  he  lose  no  time  about  getting  that 
school ;  to  which  the  reply  was  made  that  he  had  a  school,  and 
with  the  pay  of  $26.00  a  month.  This  so  staggered  the  old  gentle- 
man that  he  would  not  believe  it  till  another  came  up  and  said  it 
was  so.  This  same  grandson  adds,  "  When  I  was  a  boy  I  used  to 
visit  my  cousins  and  if  we  got  into  any  doubtful  fun  and  heard 
grandpa's  voice  we  would  take  to  the  brush  in  a  hurry,  for  a  scold- 
ing from  him  was  worse  than  a  sound  flogging." 

Mr.  Jones  was  quite  blind  in  the  last  years  of  his  life  and  found 
great  delight  in  repeating  long  passages  from  the  Bible  with  which 
he  had  stored  his  mind  in  early  life.  And  because  this  was  so  rich 
a  resource  he  urged  the  young  to  be  always  learning  Scripture. 

If  he  was  dignified  in  early  manhood,  in  old  age  he  was  awe-

inspiring.  One  of  his  daughters  took  her  little  son  to  see  him 
during  his  last  illness,  and  as  they  came  out  of  the  room  the  child 
timidly  asked  "  Is  that  God  ?  " 

Mrs.  Elizabeth'  (Hall)  Jones  was  a  gentle,  self-forgetting  wife 
and  mother,  living  for  her  family  and  finding  in  their  welfare  her 
highest  happiness.  Her  youngest  daughter  often  told  her  children 
of  the  devotion  and  sweetness  of  disposition  of  their  maternal 
grandmother. 

Mrs.  Anna^  (Jones)  Doolittle,  like  her  mother,  was  a  woman  of 
very  noble  qualities.  After  her  husband's  death  she  bestowed  her 
interest  on  the  education  and  life-work  of  her  son,  and  then  on 
his  family,  in  whom  her  traits  still  live. 

Rev.  Edgar  J.*  Doolittle  is  remembered  by  those  who  knew  him 
as  a  man  of  rare  excellence,  sound  in  intellect,  courageous  in  con- 
victions and  warm  in  his  friendships.  His  early  life  was  in  New 
Haven,  where  he  was  born.  After  his  father's  death  the  family 
removed  to  Wallingford.  He  was  a  merchant's  clerk  in  New 
Haven  for  a  time  until  his  decision  to  enter  the  ministry.  After 
his  graduation  at  Yale  he  spent  two  years  in  teaching  the  academy 
at  Cromwell,  and  it  was  there  that  he  made  the  acquaintance  of 
Miss  Sage,  who  afterward  became  his  wife.  He  was  for  three 
years  in  the  Yale  Divinity  School,  where  he  came  under  the  instruc- 
tion of  Dr.  Nathaniel  W.  Taylor,  who  was  then  in  his  prime. 

His  pastorate  at  Hebron  was  pleasant  and  successful  and  con- 
tinued until  Dec.  14,  1852,  when  he  was  dismissed  to  accept  a  call 
to  the  Congregational  Church  of  Chester,  Conn.,  where  he  was 
installed  April  26,  1853.  Here  he  was  greatly  beloved  by  his  peo- 
ple, and  after  he  was  obliged  by  failing  health  to  take  a  dismission 
in  April,  1859,  he  returned  to  them  in  1861  and  filled  the  place  of  a 
pastor  for  eight  years  longer.  His  health  then  forbidding  further 
labor,  he  removed,  in  1858,  to  Wallingford,  where  he  spent  the 
rest  of  bis  life  in  retirement. 

In  a  letter  to  his  college  class  in  1874,  he  says  :  "  My  labors  in 
Chester  were  continued  with  such  results  as  should  certainly  make 
me  thankful  to  the  great  Head  of  the  Church  for  permitting  me  to 
labor  in  his  vineyard.  In  both  of  my  parishes  I  have  been  favored 
with  a  kind,  intelligent  and  excellent  people,  and  have  had  no 
reason  to  feel  that  Providence  had  not  guided  me  to  my  fields  of 
labor  and  blessed  me  in  them."

The  ancestors  of  Nathan  Williams,  given  in  Chart  XI,  were  most 
of  them  prominent  figures  in  early  New  England  history.  Rev. 
Richard  Mather  was  leader  of  the  colony  that  came  to  Dorchester 
in  1635  and  was  Thomas  Dickerman's  pastor.  Rev.  John  Daven- 
port was  the  joint  leader  with  Eaton  in  founding  the  New  Haven 
colony,  where  he  was  Abraham  Dickerman's  pastor.  Rev.  Abra- 
ham Pierson  was  pastor  of  the  church  at  Branford,  and  his  son, 
Rev.  Abraham  Pierson,  Jr.,  was  the  first  president  of  Yale  Col- 
lege. Rev.  John  Warham  was  pastor  of  the  church  organized  at 
Plymouth,  England,  in  1630,  whieh  came  to  Dorchester  and  made 
the  first  settlement  there  ;  and  then  in  1636  removed  to  Windsor 
to  found  a  new  colony.  He  was  with  them  in  both  these  move- 
ments, and  continued  their  honored  guide  and  counsellor  as  long 
as  he  lived. 

Dr.  Williams'  paternal  grandfather  was  Rev.  John  Williams  of 
Deerfield,  famed  in  connection  with  the  Indian  massacre  of  1704. 
It  was  he  who  was  startled  out  of  sleep  in  the  dead  of  night  by 
savages  bursting  into  his  house  and  murdering  part  of  his  family 


TOLLAND,   CONNECTICUT.  •  333 

while  the  rest  with  himself  were  led  away  in  midwinter  to  Canada. 
It  was  his  wife,  Eunice  Mather,  too  feeble  for  the  journey,  who 
was  struck  down  on  the  way  by  a  tomahawk.  It  was  their 
daughter  Eunice  who  was  kept  by  the  captors  after  others  of  the 
family  had  been  redeemed,  and  brought  up  in  the  wigwams  to 
become  the  wife  of  an  Indian  chief.  Few  stories  are  more  thrill- 
ing, and  seldom  has  there  been  a  higher  illustration  of  heroism 
than  the  father  gave  in  returning  to  the  little  frontier  settlement, 
after  the  massacre,  and  spending  the  rest  of  his  life  there. 

Stephen  Williams,  the  father  of  Nathan,  was  a  boy  of  eleven  at 
this  time  and  was  treated  with  especial  severity  by  the  Indians. 
Being  separated  from  the  rest  of  the  family,  he  did  not  meet  them 
again  for  fourteen  months,  and  nearly  two  years  passed  before  he 
arrived  in  Boston  on  his  return.  He  afterward  became  a  man  of 
eminence.  Graduated  at  Harvard  in  17 13,  he  was  ordained  at 
Longmeadow  in  17 16  and  continued  his  ministry  there  till  his 
death,  at  the  age  of  eighty-nine,  a  period  of  sixty-five  years. 

Nathan  Williams  was  graduated  at  Yale  in  1755,  was  a  member 
of  the  Yale  Corporation  for  twenty  years — from  1788  to  1808,  and 
received  the  degree  of  Doctor  of  Divinity  from  the  College  of  New 
Jersey  in  1794.  He  was  ordained  pastor  of  the  Congregational 
church  at  Tolland,  Conn.,  April  30,  1760,  and  held  this  office,  like 
his  father,  to  the  end  of  his  life,  a  period  of  sixty-nine  years. 

A  number  of  his  sermons  were  published,  the  titles  of  which 
are  given  in  a  biographical  sketch  in  Sprague's  Annals.  Among 
these  was  one  preached  at  the  burial  of  Eliakim  Hall  at  Walling- 
ford  from  the  text — 

Rev.  XXI.  4  :  And  God  shall  wipe  away  all  tears  from  their  eyes ;  and 
there  shall  be  no  more  death,  neither  sorrow,  nor  crying,  neither  shall 
there  be  any  more  pain  j  for  the  former  things  are  passed  away. 

A  passage  from  this  sermon  is  given  ow  page  308. 

The  following  sketches  are  found  in  The  History  of  Tolland. 

"The  Rev.  Doctor  Williams  holds  a  prominent  place  iu  the  history  of  Tol- 
land. He  has  done  more  than  any  other  person  to  form  the  character  of  its 
inhabitants.  He  was  their  only  minister  for  more  than  fifty  years,  and  occupied 
a  prominent  and  influential  position  for  nearly  seventy  years  of  his  life. 

In  person  he  was  about  five  feet  nine  inches  in  height ;  rather  stout,  with  a 
body  symmetrical  and  well  proportioned.  He  was  easy  and  graceful  in  his 
manners,  social  in  his  habits,  interesting  and  instructive  in  his  conversation, 
punctilious  in  etiquette,  careful  in  his  personal  appearance,  precise  and  select 
in  his  language,  and  in  every  way  a  gentleman  of  the  old  school. 

As  a  preacher  he  was  strictly  orthodox  but  quite  liberal  for  the  age  in  which 


334  ELIAKIM   H/   WILLIAMS'   FAMILY. 

he  lived.  He  was  a  good  scholar,  well  educated,  with  a  fair  intellect  and  good 
common  sense.  His  public  performances  were  very  creditable,  and  quite 
acceptable  to  his  parishioners." 

•'  Mrs.  Mary  Williams  was  a  perfect  model  for  a  minister's  wife.  Intelligent 
without  vanity  ;  complacent  without  sycophancy  ;  devotedly  pious  without 
any  forbidding  pretensions,  she  exercised  a  salutary  influence  without  any 
apparent  effort.  She  taught  by  example  as  well  as  precept,  and  the  duties  of  a 
wife  and  mother  were  not  neglected  nor  forgotten  in  the  pursuit  of  those  that 
belong  to  the  visionary  philanthropist,  or  the  chimerical  moralist.  She  attended 
to  the  duties  of  her  own  household,  and  cared  for  the  wants  of  her  dependents, 
feeling  that  her  happiness  was  best  promoted  when  contributing  to  the  enjoy- 
ment of  those  around  her. 

She  was  an  economist,  not  for  the  purpose  of  acquiring  wealth,  but  on 
account  of  the  example  to  others.  Doct.  Williams  possessed  more  of  this 
world's  goods,  comparatively,  than  now  ordinarily  falls  to  the  lot  of  country 
ministers,  but  it  was  never  ostentatiously  used.  His  home  always  exhibited 
comforts  without  extravagance,  and  great  order  and  neatness  without  luxurious 
elegance." 

Mrs.  Williams  made  it  a  matter  of  principle  to  live  like  her 
parishioners,  although  her  means  would  have  allowed  her  greater 
comforts.  She  was  heard  to  say,  during  the  last  years  of  her  life, 
that  her  children,  when  small,  always  went  bare-footed  to  meeting 
in  summer  because  some  in  the  parish  were  unable  to  furnish 
theirs  with  shoes,  so  that  no  comparisons  could  be  instituted 
between  her  children  and  others  in  that  respect. 

Excellent  portraits  of  Dr.  and  Mrs.  Williams  are  in  the  posses- 
sion of  Mr.  Burt  Williams  of  Maumee,  Ohio.

CHAPTER   XIV. 


SAMUEL*   DICKERMAN    OF   MT.    CARMEL. 

"  Children's  children  are  the  crown  of  old  men  ;  and  the  glory  of  children  are 
their  fathers."  — proverbs  xvii.  6. 

Among  the  fathers  of  Mt.  Carmel,  Samuel*  Dickerman  was  one 
of  the  foremost.  He  was  early  on  the  ground  :  he  owned  and 
cultivated  an  extensive  farm  ;  and,  more  important  than  every- 
thing else,  he  brought  up  a  large  family  and  gave  them  such  a 
training  that  they  and  the  children  after  them  performed  well 
their  part  as  good  citizens. 

There  may  not  be  found  a  great  proportion  of  these  in  the 
higher  stations,  nor  many  whose  names  are  widely  known,  but 
with  faithful  industry  they  have  borne  their  part,  and  their  influ- 
ence has  been  for  the  welfare  of  society.  Nearly  every  useful 
occupation  has  engaged  their  attention  and  with  the  usual  result 
of  success.  If  few  have  become  rich,  not  many  have  suffered  from 
want,  and  their  general  character  has  been  the  sturdy  independ- 
ence which  makes  of  opportunity  a  duty  and  gathers  harvests 
from  uninviting  fields.  One  who  is  familiar  with  the  land  of 
Samuel*  Dickerman's  farm  will  recognize  how  good  a  place  it 
was  for  the  development  of  industrious  and  frugal  habits. 

It  is  noticeable  that  a  number  of  the  grandchildren  of  his  sister 
Ruth*  Hall,  went  to  Wallingford,  Vermont,  toward  the  end  of  the 
last  century  and  made  their  homes  there.  In  like  manner  a  num- 
ber of  Samuel's*  grandchildren  at  about  the  same  time  went  to 
Mt.  Holly,  which  is  near  Wallingford,  and  his  daughter  Susannah, 
with  her  husband,  settled  in  Rutland. 

These  families,  like  those  which  came  a  little  earlier  to  Brattle- 
boro,  furnished  a  large  element  toward  the  making  of  this  new 
State,  and  their  descendants  are  to  be  found  in  many  Vermont 
towns. 

But  more  significant  still  is  the  fact  that  all  these  families  have 
sent  their  representatives  westward  to  bear  their  part  as  pioneers 
in  settling  the  country  and  giving  it  character.  And  to-day  they 
are  an  element  of  national  strength  and  thrift  from  the  farms  of 
New  York  and  Ohio  to  California  and  the  ports  of  the  Pacific. 


344  SAMUEL*   DICKERMAN'S   FAMILY. 


Samuel*  Dickerman=Mary  Alling. 

155.  Samuel*  Dickerman,  son  of  Isaac^  and  Mary  (Atwater) 
Dickerman  (Abraham",  Thomas'),  b.  March  4,  17 16,  d.  May  10, 
1760.  m.  Dec.  6,  1739,  Mary^  Alling,  dau.  of  Jonathan^  and  Sarah 
(Sackett)  Alling  (John',  Roger"),  b.  Dec.  28,  1717,  d.  Dec.  5,  1802, 
ae.  85. 

It  is  an  interesting  circumstance  that  Samuel  Dickerman's  wife 
was  a  daughter  of  Capt.  Jonathan  Ailing,  who  is  referred  to  on 
pages  294  and  298  as  advocating  a  different  policy  from  that  of 
Capt.  Isaac  Dickerman — also  that  the  marriage  was  less  than  a 
year  before  Capt.  Ailing  was  sent  to  the  General  Assembly  in 
Capt.  Dickerman's  place.  Evidently  this  family  was  privileged  to 
hear  the  questions  of  the  times  discussed  from  two  different

348  SIMEON"  dickerman's  family. 

About  1790,  or  a  little  before,  Simeon  Dickerman  made  a  visit 
to  Vermont  and  decided  to  settle  there.  Returning  to  Mt.  Car- 
mel  he  married  and  removed  with  his  bride  to  Mt.  Holly,  where 
they  made  their  new  home.  Not  long  after,  his  three  brothers, 
Amasa,  Lyman  and  Isaac,  joined  them,  and  in  due  time  married, 
respectively,  three  sisters  whom  they  found  there,  Hannah, 
Abigail  and  Sarah  Button.  After  Amasa  and  Lyman  had  mar- 
ried, their  father  remarked  that  "  he  had  buttons  enough  but  he 
must  have  another  Button  added."  From  each  of  these  four 
brothers  there  sprung  a  large  family  and  their  descendants  have 
held  stations  of  honor  and  influence  throughout  the  country.

He  went  to  Mt.  Holly  in  1806,  removed  in  1819  to  Dryden,  where 
they  lived  on  a  farm  three  miles  south  of  the  village  till  1859,  and 
then  came  to  the  village  for  their  remaining  years. 

He  traced  his  conversion,  in  1810,  to  a  remark  of  Rev.  Lemuel 
Haynes,  a  colored  minister  at  Rutland,  Vt.,  who  held  religious 
services  once  in  four  weeks  at  his  father's  house.  Both  he  and 
Mrs.  Clark  early  united  with  the  Congregational  church  at 
Mt.  Holly,  and  on  going  to  Dryden  became  members  of  the 
Congregational  church  there.  This  church  became  Presbyterian 
and  he  was  ordained  an  elder  July  18,  182 1.

They  were  active  Christians  during  their  long  life  and  taught 
by  their  worthy  example  the  lessons  of  practical  every-day  reli- 
gion. Punctual  at  the  services,  faithful  to  duty,  constant  in 
prayer,  earnest  for  reform,  cordial  helpers  of  their  pastor  and 
cherishing  a  strong  confidence  in  God,  they  were  indeed  pillars  of 
the  church  and  greatly  honored  by  those  who  knew  them.

Sumner  W.  Matteson  entered  the  law  office  of  his  brother-in-law.  Col.  D. 
H.  Hughes  of  Decorah,  when  a  young  man  and  pursued  with  him  his  pro- 
fessional studies.  Soon  after  he  was  elected  Justice  of  the  Peace,  and  in 
i860  Clerk  of  the  Courts,  to  which  office  he  was  reelected  in  1862. 

By  successful  investments  in  real  estate  he  laid  the  foundations  of  a  com- 
petence, and  retiring  from  office  became  for  a  short  time  Cashier  of  The 
First  National  Bank.  But  not  finding  this  altogether  congenial  he  with- 
drew, and  thereafter  employed  himself  in  the  care  of  his  property  and  in  an 
easy,  graceful  life  devoted  to  home  duties  and  the  loving  task  of  caring  for 
a  growing  family. 

He  had  a  natural  gift  for  literary  work  and  was  a  facile  writer.  Letters 
to  friends  were  often  full  of  genial  humor  and  such  a  play  of  wit  that  they 
were  passed  from  hand  to  hand  until  almost  thumbed  to  rags.  Genial  in 
disposition,  warm  and  sunny  in  his  companionships,  a  devoted  husband 
and  father,  he  left  behind  him  a  memory  that  will  be  cherished  with  tender 
aflfection.

Austin*  T.  Dickerman  united  in  1855  with  the  Baptist  church. 
Ip.  1862  he  volunteered  in  the  91st  Reg.  Ills.  Vols.,  but  was 
rejected  for  physical  disability.  He  then  went  to  Kansas  to  the 
Osage  Mission,  Neosho  Co.,  and  entered  into  trade  with  the 
Indians,  living  on  the  border  and  among  them  for  five  years  and 
learning  to  speak  three  or  four  languages.  He  became  an  inde- 
pendent scout  for  the  United  States  Government  against  the  Indians 
attached  to  the  Southern  confederacy  in  the  region  between  Osage 


364  ELLIOTT*   DICKERMAN'S   FAMILY. 

Mission  and  Fort  Gibson  and  upon  the  Arkansas  river.  Once  he 
rode  a  single  horse  a  hundred  and  fifteen  miles  in  one  day  ;  again 
he  rode  a  hundred  and  sixty  miles  in  forty-eight  hours,  and  at 
another  time  was  in  the  saddle  eleven  days  in  succession,  going 
from  sixty  to  seventy-five  miles  a  day.  On  these  expeditions  he 
had  to  do  as  he  could  for  food,  and  once  was  out  seven  days  with 
but  one  meal  during  the  whole  time. 

After  this  he  had  to  start  anew.  He  lost  all  his  property  by 
the  plundering  of  guerillas  and  Indians,  and  after  the  war,  July 
15,  1865,  obtained  a  permit  of  the  Osage  chief,  for  himself  and  his 
brother-in-law,  S.  W.  Johnson,  to  settle  on  La  Bette  river,  in  what 
is  now  La  Bette  Co.,  Kansas.  He  went  down  first  and  built  a 
cabin  with  only  an  axe,  saw  and  augur  for  tools,  and  without  a 
nail  or  a  sawed  board  to  work  with.  When  they  moved  into  it, 
the  nearest  neighbor  was  twenty-six  miles  away,  and  it  was  sixty- 
five  miles  to  a  store  ;  but  game  was  abundant  and  the  larder  was 
never  empty.  Sep.  29,  1865,  the  government  purchased  from  the 
Osage  Indians  a  portion  of  their  lands  in  Kansas,  and  the  country 
was  soon  flooded  with  settlers.  On  the  organization  of  the 
county  Mr.  Dickerman  was  appointed  county  clerk  by  the  Gov- 
ernor and  was  elected  by  the  people  to  the  same  office.  His  wife 
died  in  1867  and  he  took  his  children  back  to  Illinois.  Returning, 
he  engaged  himself  as  clerk  and  interpreter  to  a  fur  company, 
continued  with  them  a  year  and  then  left  the  Indians  for  good. 
Having  married  a  second  wife  he  lived  on  a  farm  in  La  Bette  Co. 
till  1883,  when  they  moved  to  Oswego,  Kansas,  "where  they  now 
reside,  and  their  latchstring  ever  hangs  out  to  all  of  the  Dicker- 
man  race."

MIDDLEFIELD,   CONNECTICUT.  365 

IV,    Arthur  Lyman^  b.  April  1869,  at  Colebrook  River,  Conn.,  d.  Feb- 
ruary 1 87 1,  in  Middlefield,  Conn. 

Elliott^  Dickerman,  the  youngest  child  of  the  family,  was  left 
fatherless  at  the  age  of  four.  He  was  physically  delicate  but  with 
a  keen  and  active  mind.  At  the  age  of  seventeen  he  visited  his 
brother  in  Illinois  and  was  induced  to  teach  in  the  winter  a  dis- 
trict school.  The  country  was  rough  then  and  so  were  the  boys, 
and  there  were  several  contests  over  who  should  rule,  which  he 
settled  by  the  force  of  superior  will. 

Returning  from  the  west,  he  attended  school  at  Castleton  Sem- 
inary, where  he  made  a  reputation  as  a  poet  by  some  graceful 
verses  that  he  wrote.  He  engaged  in  the  work  of  a  colporteur 
and  in  other  occupations  until  he  entered  the  ministry,  joining  the 
Vermont  Conference  in  1856.  He  filled  several  appointments, 
when  his  failing  health  obliged  him  to  stop  preaching  for  a  time. 

Having  a  taste  for  machinery,  he  turned  his  attention  that  way 
and  invented  a  clothes  wringer.  Going  to  Connecticut  to  dispose 
of  the  patent,  he  found  a  man  who  had  invented  a  similar 
machine,  each  having  worked  out  his  idea  without  knowing  of 
the  other.  The  two  machines  were  combined  into  The  Universal 
Clothes  Wringer  and  was  manufactured  at  Middlefield,  Conn.,  by  a 
company,  of  which  Mr.  Dickerman  was  a  member.  This  led  to 
his  removal  with  his  family  to  that  place. 

Here  he  preached  occasionally,  and  after  a  while  regularly,  for 
three  or  four  years.  Being  greatly  interested  in  temperance 
reform,  he  bought  and  edited  a  paper  which  was  published  in 
Hartford  under  the  name  of  The  State  Temperance  Journal.  Just 
at  this  time  the  State  branch  of  the  Prohibition  Party  was  started 
and  he  assisted  in  it  with  enthusiasm.  This  was  his  last  public 
work.  He  was  first  a  Whig,  then  a  Republican  and  last  a  Prohi- 
bitionist. 

He  was  an  unusually  conscientious  man,  with  a  clear  percep- 
tion of  right  and  wrong,  and  an  unwavering  determination  to 
follow  what  he  thought  to  be  his  duty  regardless  of  consequences. 
As  his  ideas  were  progressive,  this  sometimes  led  him  where  most 
would  fear  to  tread. 

After  a  short  illness  he  died,  proving  in  his  death  the  efficacy  of 
the  truth  he  had  preached.

187.  Isaac*  Dickerman,  son  of  Isaac'  and  Sibyl  (Sperry) 
Dickerman  (Samuel*,  Isaac',  Abraham",  Thomas'),  b.  April  22,

at  Mt.  Holly,  Vt.,  Sarah  Button,  b.  April  5,  1784,  d.  Aug.  i6,  1846. 

"Deacon  Isaac*  Dickerman  was  for  many  years  a  leading  citizen 
of  the  town  and  it  may  be  said  of  him  that  no  man  ever  enjoyed  to 
a  greater  degree  the  respect  and  confidence  of  the  people.  He 
was  for  many  years  a  deacon  and  one  of  the  main  pillars  of  the 
Baptist  church.  He  was  also  in  responsible  town  offices,  select- 
man, lister,  etc.  He  was  Representative  four  years  in  the  Legisla- 
ture and  Justice  of  the  Peace,  some  ten  or  twelve  years.  He  was 
emphatically  a  man  of  peace  and  his  influence  was  exerted  to  allay 
strife  and  promote  harmony." — Vermont  Hist.  Magazine,  page  841.

The  following,  concerning  Alfred'  Roberts,  is  from  a  letter  in 
The  New  York  Journal  of  Commerce^  reprinted  in  The  Chenango 
American,  Dec.  19,  1861  : 

"  I  met  him  first  in  the  street  of  the  Holy  Sepulchre,  at  Jerusalem.  A  cooper 
by  trade,  in  America,  he  had  devoted  himself  to  distributing  Bibles  wherever  he 
could  find  persons  to  receive  them.  He  had  no  property  or  means  but  declined 
connection  with  a  society  or  personal  pecuniar)'  aid.  He  accepted  money  to  be 
used  in  purchasing  Bibles  or  Testaments,  but  for  no  other  purpose. 

He  worked  his  passage  to  Liverpool,  thence  to  Malta,  thence  to  Constan- 
tinople, and  finally  to  Jerusalem.  The  journey  was  one  of  some  years  and  all 
the  way  he  scattered  the  Word  of  God.  In  Malta  he  devoted  himself  for  months 
to  Italian  sailors.  In  Constantinople  American  residents  collected  money  to 
present  him  a  new  suit  of  clothes,  but  he  declined  it,  accepted  the  donation  in 
Bibles  and  wore  his  gray  suit  to  Jerusalem. 

He  knew  no  language  but  English,  yet  managed  to  converse  with  people  of 
various  tongues  and  to  win  the  esteem  of  all.  Pursuing  his  quiet  way,  he 
walked  the  streets  year  after  year  on  his  labor  of  love.  His  wants  were  few,  his 
expenses  a  trifle. 

In  1858  he  was  disabled  by  infirmities  and  for  the  remaining  three  years  lay 
patiently  on  his  bed  in  an  apartment  tendered  by  the  British  Mission,"

account  he  went  to  New  Orleans,  where  he  became  very  ill,  and 
was  fortunate  in  having  the  companionship  of  his  cousin  Quin 
Bradley  with  his  wife.  In  the  following  April  his  pastor  was 
going  through  the  city  on  his  way  from  New  York,  and  he 
returned  with  him  to  Lafayette,  where  he  died  five  days  after  his 
arrival.  He  was  an  earnest  Christian  and  faithful  in  all  relations. 
In  Lafayette,  he  was  at  first  without  church  privileges,  but  a 
young  clergyman  looking  for  a  place  to  establish  a  church  came 
that  way,  met  him  and  decided  to  remain,  he  being  at  first  the 
only  communicant.  Since  then  three  strong  churches  have  been 
established  there.  This  clergyman  was  his  companion  in  the 
journey  from  New  Orleans  and  preached  his  funeral  sermon.

Wait  Chatterton= Susanna*  Dickerman. 

182.  Susanna*  Dickerman,  dau.  of  SamueP  and  Mary  (Ailing)

April  17,  1783,  Wait*  Chatterton,  son  of  Wait'  and  Joanna  (Beach) 
Chatterton  (Samuel",  William'),  b.  March  2,  1757.  They  removed 
from  Mt.  Carmel,  Conn.,  to  Rutland,  Vermont,  toward  the  close 
of  the  last  century  and  were  among  the  early  settlers  there. 

William  Chatterton  was  in  New  Haven  as  early  as  1646,  when 
his  name  occurs  in  the  seating  of  the  church  with  that  of  Abra- 
ham" Dickerman.  His  grandson.  Wait,  Sr.,  was  among  those  who

wilderness,  seven  miles  north  of  New  Haven,  at  the  foot  of  the 
mountain  which  gave  their  village  its  name.  He  was  b.  Sep,  18, 
1709,  and  d.  Nov.  20,  1793,  in  his  87th  year.  m.  (i)  Dec.  14,  1732, 
Esther  Punderson,  who  d.  April  1743  ;  m.  (2)  April  25,  1744, 
Joanna  Beach  of  Wallingford,  d.  June  14,  1784,  in  her  6ist  year. 
In  his  will,  received  to  Probate  Dec.  13,  1793,  mention  is  made  of 
four  sons  and  five  daughters:  Abraham,  b.  Dec.  31,  1739,  d.  June 
8,  1816,  ae.  77  ;  Isaac,  Joseph,  b.  March  i,  1744-5,  and  Wait ;  Hester 
Mallery,  b.  June  14,  1742  ;  Hannah  Doolittle,  b.  Jan.  31,  1746-7  ; 
Lois  Peck,  wife  of  Amos  Peck,  b.  Jan.  19,  1752,  d.  Sep.  22,  1852, 
ae.  100  yrs.  8  mos.  6  ds.  ;  Eunice  Southerland  and  Olive  Peck. 

Wait  Chatterton,  Jr.,  went  to  Rutland  and  united  with  the 
West  Rutland  church  in  1785,  was  chosen  deacon  in  1802  and  held 
the  office  till  his  death  in  1837.  His  eldest  son,  Exi',  was  also 
deacon  in  1824,  and  then  Exi's  eldest  son,  Wait',  till  his  death  in 
1865.     The  wife  of  the  latter  writes  in  December  1895  : 

"  Of  Susanna  Dickerman  Chatterton  personally  I  can  tell  you  very  little. 
The  most  I  remember  is  that  I  always  saw  her  at  church,  and  I  was  one  of  the 
choir  that  sang  at  her  funeral,  though  I  must  have  been  a  very  young  girl,  for  I 
am  now  almost  eighty-five  years  old.  But  I  know  enough  to  say  that  she  was 
one  of  the  noblest  women  that  ever  lived.  No  woman  could  have  raised  such  a 
family  as  she  did  without  being  noble  in  herself.  Then  she  had  a  husband  who 
might  be  called  a  saint  on  earth.  He  was  in  the  war  of  1812,  was  taken  prisoner 
and  sent  to  Halifax,  where  the  treatment  was  such  that  all  the  prisoners  but  him 
and  one  other  died.  He  was  over  ninety  at  his  death  and  was  deranged  for  six 
months.  Physicians  said  there  was  a  trouble  in  the  head  caused  by  wounds 
received  in  that  war.  Mrs.  Chatterton  was  very  retiring,  one  that  looked  well 
to  the  ways  of  her  household  ;  and  I  know  the  influence  of  the  family  still  lives  : 
her  character  is  seen  in  her  children  and  children's  children." 

I.     Wait,^  died  in  1795,  ae.  9  months.

CHAPTER   XV. 


JONATHAN  DICKERMAN  OF  MT.  CARMEL. 

"  For  men  may  come  and  men  may  go, 
But  I  go  on  forever." 

— ^'■The  Brook"  Alfred  Tennyson, 

The  valleys  about  New  Haven,  as  in  other  parts  of  New  Eng- 
land, abound  in  springs.  These,  like  the  mountains,  remain  with 
little  change.  The  forests  may  go  and  the  fields  take  on  a 
different  aspect ;  even  the  streams  may  lose  their  ancient  features 
and  become  a  chain  of  mill-ponds,  but  the  brown  cliffs  stand  as  of 
old  and  the  clear  water  wells  from  the  rock  just  as  it  did  when 
the  stag  drooped  his  antlers  above  it,  or  the  red  men  gathered  at 
its  basin  to  slake  their  thirst. 

Tradition  says  it  was  the  attractiveness  of  a  spring  and  the 
brook  flowing  from  it  which  decided  the  sons  of  Isaac'  Dickerman 
where  to  make  their  home.  They  had  gone  out  from  New  Haven 
through  the  forest  to  look  over  the  wild  lands  their  father  had 
bought  in  the  neighborhood  of  Mt.  Carmel,  when  tired  and 
thirsty  they  came  upon  this  thread  of  sparkling  water.* 

The  brook  starts  from  a  spring  a  few  rods  west  of  what  is  now 
the  highway.  The  land  around  is  a  level  meadow,  but  a  ledge 
of  rocks  breaks  the  surface  and  tells  of  the  subterranean  fissure 
from  which  the  water  is  forced  up  through  the  sand  ever  stirring 
in  the  depths  of  the  pool. 

Years  ago  the  brook  ran  on  the  top  of  the  ground.  Coming 
through  the  fence  at  the  roadside,  the  water  poured  into  a  huge 
trough  and  rushing  over  the  edge  prattled  across  to  the  other 
side,  where  it  ran  under  a  fence  to  leap  out  in  a  little  waterfall. 

The  trough  was  a  famous  place  in  those  times  for  watering 
teams  when  the  farmers  drove  to  town  from  Cheshire  and  South- 
ington  with  the  various  products  of  farm  and  dairy,  and  as  they 
drew  up  the  remark  was  often  heard,  "  My  horse  always  drinks 

*  The  old  folks  used  to  say  that  they  blazed  their  way  through  the  woods  by  hatchet  marks  oa 
the  trees. 


404  OLD   HOMESTEAD. 

here," — testimony  to  the  sweetness  of  the  water.  But  "the  water- 
ing place  "  has  long  since  disappeared,  and  one  might  now  travel 
the  road  for  years  and  never  dream  of  the  old  way-mark  by  which 
the  locality  used  to  be  known  all  up  and  down  the  turnpike. 

The  canal  first  struck  across  the  brook  and  a  conduit  of  hollow 
logs  was  put  down  by  which  it  was  carried  under  the  bed  and 
brovight  up  again  beyond  the  tow-path.  This  was  about  1825. 
Twenty  years  later  came  the  railroad,  running  close  by  the  high- 
way and  going  right  over  the  spot  where  the  trough  had  stood. 
That  led  to  the  building  of  a  culvert  and  putting  the  brook  under 
ground.  Next  a  railroad  station  was  built  there,  which  hid  it  still 
more.  And  now,  although  canal,  railroad  and  station  have  all 
had  their  day  and  departed,*  the  much  abused  little  brook  con- 
tinues to  conceal  itself  till  it  gets  beyond  the  road  and  the  eyes  of 
passers-by.  There  it  sparkles  a  little  while  in  the  sunshine, 
spreads  out  over  the  meadow  in  the  valley  and  vanishes,  no  one 
can  tell  whither. 

In  early  times  the  brook  made  a  turn  to  the  left  just  over  the 
road,  and  then,  winding  to  the  right,  went  racing  over  a  bottom  of 
small  boulders  down  the  hill  to  the  meadow.  This  gave  a  spot  of 
ground,  about  a  hundred  feet  across,  which  was  elevated  and  well 
drained,  having  the  brook  on  two  sides  and  sloping  on  the  third 
into  a  fertile  valley. 

This  was  the  spot  selected  for  building  when  all  around  was  a 
wilderness  ;  and  here  stood  the  first  homestead  of  the  Mt.  Carmel 
Dickermans. 

From  the  account  already  givenf  it  appears  that  Isaac'  Dicker- 
man  was  the  owner  of  large  tracts  of  land  in  this  region.  These 
consisted  of  lots  laid  out  in  the  Sixth  Division  of  sequestered 
lands.  He  began  to  buy  these  lots  from  those  to  whom  they  were 
originally  assigned  as  early  as  1727,  and  continued  the  purchases 
till  1745. 

Toward  the  end  of  this  period  his  two  older  sons,  Samuel  and 
Jonathan,  were  married  and  most  likely  went  out  about  that  time 
to  improve  these  lands  and  make  a  home  there.  They  were 
closely  associated  and  occupied  much  of  the  land  in  partnership. 
As  their  father  divided  a  house  between  them,  the  indications  are 
that  they  lived  under  the  same  roof  as  late  as  1754.     When  the 

*  The  railroad  now  traverses  another  part  of  this  town  and  is  some  distance  to  the  west  of  the 
old  line,

will  was  drawn,  however,  in  1759,  Jonathan  seems  to  have  occu- 
pied the  whole  house.  At  that  time  there  were  nineteen  children 
in  the  two  families,  which  was  reason  enough  for  another  abode. 

The  original  house  remained  for  a  long  time,  and  till  after  a 
second  had  been  built  a  little  to  the  south.  This  is  still  in  good 
preservation  though  over  a  hundred  years  old. 

Three  successive  generations  were  born  and  grew  up  on  this 
homestead,  and  always  for  more  than  a  hundred  years  there  were 
young  people  and  children  about  the  place.  To  them  the  brook 
was  a  never-failing  delight.  It  did  more  than  supply  the  pure 
water  requisite  for  household  uses,*  it  gave  to  them  no  end  of  fun. 
Under  the  fall  they  set  their  small  water-wheels  ;  in  the  smoother 
parts  they  sailed  their  boats  ;  here  and  there  they  built  their 
dams  ;  as  a  business  enterprise  they  made  a  pond  for  the  ducks 
and  geese  ;  in  summer  the  girls  set  out  wild  flowers  along  the 
margin,  and  in  winter  the  boys  skated  on  the  ice  made  by  the 
overflow  under  the  hill. 

As  the  young  people  arrived  at  manhood  and  womanhood  they 
went  from  this  home  to  make  others  of  their  own.  Many  of  them 
lived  near  by,  and  fifty  years  ago  families  of  the  Dickerman 
name  were  more  numerous  than  any  others  in  this  neighborhood. 

All  this  is  now  changed.  Other  people  have  the  old  places 
thereabouts,  for  the  most  part,  while  the  sons  and  daughters  of 
the  village  are  dispersed  over  the  whole  country.

no  well  till  about  1840,  when  a  desire  for  cooler  water  in  harvest  time  led  Ezra  Dickerman  to  offer 
one  of  his  hired  men,  named  Towsley,  $100.00  if  he  would  dig  a  well.  The  offer  was  taken  and 
with  much  digging  and  blasting  the  shaft  was  driven  down  about  35  feet  till  it  struck  water  in  the 
red  rock.

Bacon's  Co.,  Col.  Rossiter,  re-enforcement  to  Gen.  Stark  at  Still-

war. 

There  were  a  number  of  Mt.  Carmel  people  who  early  went  to 
Stockbridge  to  settle,  which  may  account  for  his  being  there. 
The  story  is  handed  down  in  the  family  that  he  was  beset  by 
Indians  while  out  in  a  forest,  and  in  escaping  from  them  ran  till 
he  was  so  spent  that  he  died  from  the  effects  of  it.

Enos'  Dickerman  was  a  soldier  in  the  war  of  the  Revolution, 
and  died,  as  it  is  said,  of  disease  while  on  duty  in  New  York. 
His  youngest  son  was  born  after  his  death  and  was  named  Benoni 
in  allusion  to  the  story  in  Genesis,  xxxv.  i8 — commemorating 
thus  the  grief  of  the  family.

Memorial  Ode,  one  verse  of  which  is  the  following  : 

"  O,  had  I  a  gift  like  the  prophets  of  old, 
The  dark  to  uncover,  the  future  unfold, 
I'd  sing,  like  Isaiah,  how  the  vision  appears 
To  an  old  pioneer,  for  the  next  hundred  years." 

In  1883  he  published  a  small  volume  of  poems  under  the  title 
of  ^^  The  Blood  Stained  Cross."  He  writes  in  1889  that  he  has  in

ing of  life."

"  At  the  age  of  fifteen  he  was  apprenticed  to  a  stone-cutter  at 
New  Haven.  After  his  term  of  six  years,  May  19,  1818,  he  went 
to  West  Stockbridge,  Mass.,  and  arranged  with  Caleb  Boynton, 
who  was  afterward  his  father-in-law,  for  a  stock  of  marble  to  be 
paid  for  when  cut  and  sold.  On  going  to  Stockbridge  he  had  less 
than  a  dollar ;  at  the  end  of  a  year,  by  hard  work  and  close  economy, 
he  had  laid  up  a  hundred  dollars  ;  and  alter  ten  years  he  had  a 
small  capital  with  which,  in  1828,  he  removed  to  Troy,  N.  Y. 

Here,  in  partnership  with  Calvin  Warner,  he  rented  some  land, 
erected  buildings  and  carried  on  the  marble  business  for  eight 
years.  Mr.  Warner  retiring,  he  bought  the  property  and  enlarged 
the  establishment  since  known  as  DickermarC s  Steam  Marble  Works. 
In  1859,  he  retired  and  the  business  was  continued  by  his  son 
Mark  S.  Dickerman. 

He  was  ever  interested  in  the  prosperity  of  the  city.  He  was  a 
member  of  the  Common  Council  for  one  year  and  supervisor  of 
the  Second  Ward  two  years.  He  was  a  director  of  the  Mutual 
National  Bank  of  Troy,  and  a  trustee  of  the  First  Presbyterian 
church,  of  which  he  was  a  member.  A  plain  unassuming  man,  he 
possessed  a  force  of  character,  integrity  of  purpose  and  conscien- 
tious regard  for  justice  that  commanded  the  esteem  of  all  who 
knew  him."

An  obituary  says  of  Mrs.  Dickerman  :  **  She  was  a  woman  of 
strong  and  refined  personality.  The  upheaval  of  religious  thought 
which  took  place  in  New  England  during  her  years  of  keenest 
receptivity  stirred  profoundly  a  nature  singularly  thoughtful  and 
devout.  Her  strong  faith  and  reliance  upon  divine  mercy  remained 
unclouded  through  all  the  weariness  and  helplessness  of  her 
declining  years."

Francis''  Ives,  after  graduation  from  college,  studied  in  the  Yale 
Law  School  and  in  1848  began  the  practice  of  law  in  Bridgeport, 
where  he  resided  till  his  death.  He  was  never  married,  and  for 
this  reason,  perhaps,  was  especially  fond  of  his  horses  and  dogs, 
fishing-rod  and  gun.  After  his  death  the  Sea  Side  Club,  of  which 
he  was  one  of  the  founders,  passed  a  series  of  resolutions  from 
which  the  following  passage  is  copied  : 

"  He  manifested  a  lively  interest  in  our  town  and  city  affairs. 
He  was  one  of  the  committee  who  devised  our  non-partisan  City 
Charter,  was  at  one  time  a  member  of  the  Common  Council  and 
once  held  the  office  of  City  Attorney. 

He  acquired  a  handsome  fortune  and  by  his  will  left  legacies  to 
the  Congregational  Society  of  his  native  town,  to  the  Scroll  and 
Key  Society  of  Yale  College,  to  the  Bridgeport  Hospital,  the  Fair- 
field County  Law  Library  Association,  the  Orphan  Asylum,  the 
Young  Men's  Christian  Association  and  to  the  Bridgeport  Public 
Library." 

Resolved,  That  we  take  pleasure  in  bearing  testimony  to  his 
industry,  integrity  and  ability  in  the  discharge  of  his  duties  as  a 
citizen  and  lawyer  ;  and  we  take  an  especial  pride  in  recording  his 
benefactions  to  the  benevolent  institutions  of  our  city."

marriage  and  was  accustomed  to  teach  school  during  the  winter. 
He  was  fond  of  young  people  and  took  great  interest  in  the  chil- 
dren of  his  brothers  and  sisters,  many  of  whom  were  so  near  his 
own  age  that  he  was  like  an  older  companion.  Kind  and  gen- 
erous in  disposition,  entering  heartily  into  their  youthful  spirit, 
he  was  often  their  confidant  and  was  glad  to  do  them  any  good 
turn  that  lay  within  his  power.  All  these  nephews  and  nieces 
retained  for  him  a  strong  affection. 

For  many  years  after  his  marriage  he  lived  on  the  farm  adjoin- 
ing the  old  homestead  to  the  north,  but  later  moved  to  Cheshire,

After  studying  three  years  at  Williston  Seminary,  Easthampton, 
Mass.,  he  spent  a  few  months  in  the  office  of  his  brother,  a  manu- 
facturer of  woolens,  in  Springfield,  Illinois,  and  then  became  a 
clerk  in  the  banking  house  of  J.  Bunn.  Here  he  was  employed 
as  bookkeeper  at  first  and  afterward  as  teller  for  somewhat  more 
than  two  years,  until  at  the  close  of  1866  he  went  to  New  York. 

In  1868  he  was  elected  a  member  of  the  New  York  Stock 
Exchange,  and  in  1870,  with  the  late  W.  G.  Dominick,  formed  the 
well  known  brokerage  firm  of  Dominick  &^  Dickerman.  In  1875 
he  was  elected  to  the  Board  of  Governors,  where  he  has  served 
several  full  terms  of  four  years.  In  1890  he  was  elected  President 
of  the  Exchange,  and  re-elected  to  the  same  office  in  1891,  In 
1892  he  was  again  elected  a  Governor  of  the  Exchange,  and  still 
serves  it  in  that  capacity. 

In  1889  he  was  appointed  receiver  of  the  Norfolk  Southern 
Railroad  Company,  and  upon  its  reorganization  as  the  Norfolk 
and  Southern,  in  1891,  was  elected  President,  which  office  he  still 
occupies. 

His  home  is  known  as  "  Hillanddale  Farm "  and  occupies  a 
position  which  overlooks  the  Sound  and  a  great  part  of  West- 
chester County.  His  love  for  pastoral  pursuits  and  for  fine  stock 
is  doubtless  inherited  from  his  ancestors.

Ezra'  Dickerman,  like  his  father,  passed  his  life  at  the  old  home- 
stead as  a  farmer.  In  his  boyhood  he  had  two  intimate  compan- 
ions, Jason  Atwater  and  Charles  Goodyear,  who  began  with  him 
their  religious  life  and  were  accustomed  to  hold  prayer-meetings 
in  a  retired  room  of  his  father's  house.  The  three  resolved  to 
study  for  the  ministry  and,  with  this  in  view,  he  attended  the 
Hopkins  Grammar  School  at  Hadley,  Mass.,  for  a  short  time. 
But  the  protracted  sickness  and  death  of  his  father  intervened  and 
made  it  necessary  for  him  to  remain  at  home.  The  two  compan- 
ions however,  took  a  college  course  and  each  fulfilled  a  long  and 
useful  ministry.  Both  outlived  him,  and  Mr.  Atwater  at  his 
funeral  told  this  story  of  their  early  hopes. 

In  1828,  he  was  chosen  deacon,  and  served  till  1840,  when  he 
resigned.  He  was  afterwards  re-elected  and  held  the  office  till  his 
death.  The  interests  of  the  church  were  always  dear  to  him  and 
he  kept  steadily  in  mind  the  higher  welfare  of  the  community. 

Having  great  energy  and  executive  force,  he  so  managed  his 
farm  as  to  support  his  family  and  accumulate  a  moderate  compe- 
tence. His  great  care  was  the  rearing  of  his  children — to  have 
them  grow  up  with  sound  principles,  correct  habits  and  right 
ideas  of  life.  He  kept  near  to  them,  gave  them  his  confidence, 
looked  out  for  their  associates,  made  home  attractive  and  gath- 
ered them  about  him  every  morning  for  family  worship.  He 
trained  them  to  industry,  and  emphasized  fidelity  to  conscience, 
loyalty  to  conviction  and  the  strictest  commercial  honor. 

His  wife  was  one  with  him  in  these  aims  and  endeavors — less 
severe  but  even  more  absorbed  in  the  welfare  of  her  family  ;  glad 
to  make  any  sacrifice  for  them,  and  finding  her  sweetest  joy  in 
their  happiness.  She  was  especially  solicitous  to  have  them  early 
give  themselves  to  Christ. 

This  same  tender  love  marked  the  closing  years  of  her  long  and 
beneficent  life.  Her  delight  was  to  be  with  her  sons  and  among 
their  children,  and  her  presence  brought  a  blessing  to  them  all. 
Some  year  and  a  half  before  her  death  there  was  an  hour  when 
she  seemed  to  be  going.  At  the  thought  of  it  she  was  filled  with 
holy  peace  and  the  peace  remained  ever  after.  She  said  of  it, 
"  Before  that  time  I  sometimes  dreaded  to  die,  but  I  can  never  fear 
again."  She  was  like  one  living  on  the  border-land  of  heaven. 
Those  who  saw  her  felt  this.  Even  the  servants  asked  to  wait  on 
her  that  they  might  be  in  her  room.  Writing  of  it  afterward,  her 
daughter-in-law  said  in  a  letter,  *'  A  blessing  seemed  to  be  on  our 
home  from  the  day  she  came  within  our  gates." 


462  EZRA*   DICKERMAN'S   FAMILY. 

The  Story  of  Elizabeth^,  Abbie^  and  Fannie^  Dickerman  is  told 
in  a  memoir  entitled  "  The  Sisters"  prepared  by  their  pastor,  Rev. 
I.  P.  Warren,  and  published  in  1859  by  the  Boston  Tract  Society. 

Elizabeth  early  became  interested  in  teaching  and  had  charge 
of  a  public  school  before  she  was  sixteen.  With  the  encourage- 
ment of  many  neighbors  she  opened  a  private  school  near  her 
home,  and  it  promised  so  well  that  an  academy  building  was 
erected.  The  school  was  especially  for  girls  and  attracted  many 
from  other  towns.  Her  sister  Abbie  was  her  assistant  in  this 
enterprise.  After  Abbie's  death  she  was  principal  of  the  "  Hart 
Seminary  "  at  Plymouth,  Conn.,  till  the  death  of  Fannie  and  her 
own  failing  health  prevented  continuance. 

The  three  were  eager  scholars,  earnest  Christians  and  ambitious 
to  do  good.  The  study  of  lives  like  Harriet  Winslow  and  Mary 
Lyon  by  Abbie,  kindled  her  ardent  nature  to  such  a  glow  that  her 
physical  vigor  was  quickly  consumed,  and  her  sisters,  moved  by 
Abbie's  devotion,  soon  followed  in  the  same  way. 

Nor  were  these  alone.  There  was  a  circle  of  interesting  girls 
who  were  intimately  associated  with  them,  a  number  of  whom 
passed  away  before  the  promise  of  their  young  life  had  opened 
into  maturity.  Not  yet  had  been  learned  the  costly  lesson  that 
the  higher  education  of  woman  involves  the  assiduous  care  of  her 
physical  development. 

Henry  Street^  Dickerman  was  at  Williston  Seminary,  East- 
hampton.  Mass,  for  a  year,  and  his  three  younger  brothers  all  of 
them  afterward  attended  the  same  school.  While  there  he  became 
greatly  interested  in  study,  especially  in  geology,  and  would  gladly 
have  taken  a  college  course  if  the  way  had  been  open  for  it.  He 
taught  school,  one  winter  in  Connecticut  and  another  in  Illinois. 
From  1858  to  1882  he  was  a  manufacturer  of  woolens  at  Springfield, 
Ills.,  and  was  a  founder  and  deacon  of  the  First  Congregational 
Church  of  that  place.  He  was  afterward  general  manager  of  the 
''^Morning  Star,"  "£vening  Star"  and  "  Ward"  mines  at  Leadville. 

At  his  funeral,  his  pastor.  Rev.  Roswell  O.  Post  of  Springfield, 
made  appreciative  remarks  from  which  the  following  are  quoted  : 

"  '  Say  nothing  of  the  dead  save  the  good,'  is  an  old  Latin  adage  which 
observed  often  limits  the  tribute.  Happy  am  I  that  the  character  before  us 
needs  no  such  covering  veil  of  charity.  I  stand  unrestricted  in  the  presence  of 
this  man  and  fear  not  to  look  at  any  part  of  his  life  lest  I  should  find  the  spot 
of  dishonor. 


MT.    CARMEL,   CONNECTICUT.  463 

The  thread  of  his  life  runs  through  business,  church  and  home  ever  the  same  ; 
one  man  as  citizen,  Christian,  father.  He  was  all  one  piece  ;  there  was  no  sep- 
aration of  life  principles.  Business  justified  no  methods  because  they  'were 
business  ;'  church  affairs  conducted  on  the  straightforward  lines  of  commercial 
integrity,  and  home,  simply  yet  firmly  governed,  not  according  to  humor  but 
right.     He  was  indeed  one  consistent  whole. 

He  was  so  fearless.  Compromise  nor  timid  time-serving  ever  crawled  in  under 
the  guise  of  '  expediency.'  We  always  knew  where  to  find  him.  He  loved 
peace  and  loathed  strife,  still  for  the  cause  of  right  he  stood  alike  in  calm  or 
storm.     He  was  as  brave  a  man  as  I  have  ever  known. 

He  was  so  Christian.  Nearly  nine  years  ago,  upon  arriving  in  our  city  I  was 
met  with  congratulations  by  an  elder  of  the  First  Presbyterian  church,  for,  said 
he,  'Any  church  is  a  good  church  that  has  such  a  man  as  H.  S.  Dickerman.' 
Each  passing  year  has  added  verity  to  this  statement.  He  sought  opportunities 
to  let  his  light  shine,  here  at  home  in  church,  prayer  meeting  and  Sunday  school 
and  even  more,  if  anything,  when  away.  So  we  are  not  surprised  to  learn  that 
at  Leadville  he  was  Bible  class  teacher,  frequently  pra)'er-meeting  leader  and 
ever  the  main  religious  and  financial  support  of  the  church.  Born  of  grand 
old  Puritan  stock,  rocked  in  a  consecrated  cradle,  his  virtue  lies  in  that  he  lived 
and  died  true  to  his  heritage." 

Ezra  Day''  Dickerman  taught  school  one  winter  in  Hamden,  and 
for  a  considerable  time  engaged  in  two  Sunday  school  enterprises 
for  people  living  at  a  distance  from  church.  One  of  these  Sunday 
schools  was  in  "  West  woods  "  and  was  called  the  "  Oak  Spring 
School  ;  "  the  other  was  at  Quinnipiack,  near  the  line  between 
Hamden  and  Wallingford. 

With  the  deepening  of  the  conflict  over  slavery  he  was  greatly 
stirred  and  was  alarmed  at  the  prospect  of  war.  He  once  said 
that  "  if  war  came  he  would  not  be  in  it ;  he  would  go  to  Canada 
sooner  ;  "  at  which  his  father  sternly  spoke  :  "  A  man  never  gains 
anything  by  shirking  his  duty  to  his  country."  Soon  after  this 
his  father  died  ;  a  year  passed  and  the  war  began.  With  the  first 
call  for  troops  he  said,  "  I  must  go."  His  mother  was  not  con- 
vinced that  this  would  then  be  wise.  No  more  was  said.  A  few 
months  passed  ;  the  battle  of  Bull  Run  occurred  and  the  presi- 
dent's call  for  300,000  volunteers.  His  mother  now  said,  "  Ezra, 
you  must  go,"  and  he  enlisted. 

He  was  one  year  in  Co.  A,  loth  Reg.  C.  V.  a  corporal.  At 
Roanoke  Island  he  was  shot  through  the  chin  but  returned  to  the 
ranks  as  soon  as  his  wound  was  dressed.  The  following  summer 
a  squad  of  recruits  was  raised  among  his  old  friends  at  Mt.  Car- 
mel  and  they  chose  him  for  their  officer.  He  was  commissioned 
2d  Lieutenant  and  came  home  to   prepare  them   for  the  field. 


464  ALLING   IVES'   FAMILY. 

Before  reaching  home  he  was  chosen  captain,  and  on  the  organ- 
ization of  the  20th  Reg.  C.  V.  he  was  duly  commissioned  to  that 
office  in  Co.  I,  and  served  to  the  end  of  the  war,  being  their  only 
captain,  though  he  was  promoted  to  be  Major  during  the  last  year. 

In  this  company  were  a  number  of  men  whose  names  appear 
elsewhere  in  this  work,  Cecil  A.  Burleigh,  Brainerd  T.*  Ives, 
Willis  A."  Bradley,  Burton  S.'  Bradley,  Joel  C  Dickerman  and 
Mark  E.^  Dickerman. 

Of  these  Joel  Dickerman  was  the  only  one  who  did  not  live  to 
see  the  end  of  the  war.  He  was  one  of  Ezra's  nearest  compan- 
ions in  their  boyhood  days.  After  a  year  of  noble  service  he  was 
fatally  wounded  in  that  culminating  struggle  at  Gettysburg  and 
died  the  following  day. 

Ezra  was  wounded  severely  at  Chancellorsville  and  was  home 
on  leave  of  absence,  but  seeing  that  a  great  battle  was  imminent, 
hastened  to  the  field  and  joined  his  regiment  just  as  they  were 
going  into  action.  At  the  battle  of  Peach  Tree  Creek,  before 
Atlanta,  he  received  a  wound  that  ultimately  caused  his  death. 
It  seemed  at  the  time  that  he  could  not  live  to  be  moved,  and  prob- 
ably he  would  have  been  left  on  the  field  if  it  had  not  been  for 
the  persistence  of  Mark  Dickerman,  who  obtained  a  permit  to  stay 
with  him,  and  gave  him  the  tenderest  care  till  he  was  conveyed  to 
the  hospital  at  Nashville,  the  bullet  taken  from  the  wound  and  he 
was  on  the  way  to  recovery. 

The  "  march  to  the  sea  "  was  rtius  interrupted  for  him.  As  soon 
as  he  was  strong  enough  he  was  assigned  to  duty  at  the  conscript 
camp  in  New  Haven.  During  this  time  he  was  married.  In  the 
spring  he  joined  his  regiment  in  Richmond  and  shared  with  them 
the  honors  of  the  ''grand  review"  at  Washington.  After  the  war 
he  made  his  home  at  West  Haven.  On  the  day  of  his  burial  his 
pastor  said  of  him,  "A  true  man,  a  true  patriot  and  a  true  Chris- 
tian."

northern  coast  of  which  he  succeeded  in  escaping.  A  humble 
Irish  woman  protected  him  until  a  ship  was  ready  to  sail,  when  he 
was  spirited  on  board  and  taken  to  America.  The  name  of  the 
ship  was  *' Julia,"  and  when  his  daughter  was  born  he  called  her 
by  that  name  in  honor  of  his  deliverance.

CHAPTER   XVI. 


STEPHEN*    DICKERMAN    OF    NEW   HAVEN,    MARY 
WHITE  AND  REBECCA  HUBBARD. 

"  Honor  to  the  house  where  they  are  simple  to  the  verge  of  hardship,  so  that 
there  the  intellect  is  awake  and  reads  the  laws  of  the  universe,  the  soul  worships 
truth  and  love,  honor  and  courtesy  flow  into  all  deeds." — Ralph  Waldo  Emerson. 

The  property  adjacent  to  the  New  Haven  Green  which  Abra- 
ham" Dickerman  bought  of  Thomas  Kimberly  in  1668  was  con- 
veyed to  his  son  Isaac^  and  remained  in  his  possession  until  Sep. 
24,  1733,  when  he  sold  it  for  ^190  to  Joseph  Mix.  The  property 
adjoining  it  on  the  north  belonged  to  his  brother,  Lieutenant 
Abraham,  till  after  this  time,  and  we  may  suppose  that  the  two 
brothers  lived  in  these  homes  side  by  side  till  their  children  were 
past  their  early  childhood. 

After  the  sale  of  the  old  home  on  the  corner,  Isaac  Dickerman 
lived  in  a  house  on  Broadway  where  the  "  Boardman  School  "  now 
stands.  This  was  the  place  which  he  afterward  gave  to  his 
youngest  son,  Stephen,  with  large  tracts  of  land  in  the  north  and 
northwestern  parts  of  the  town. 

To  this  house  Stephen  brought  his  bride,  Eunice  Tuttle.  It  was 
not  far  for  her  to  come,  for  her  old  home  was  only  a  little  way 
down  York  street,  on  the  west  side,  near  Chapel  street. 

He  was  thirty-one  years  old  at  the  time  and  was  the  last  of  the 
family  to  marry.  Ruth  had  married  eighteen  years  before  and 
removed  to  Wallingford.  Samuel  and  Jonathan  had  been  married 
over  ten  years  and  were  on  their  new  farms  at  Mt.  Carmel,  and 
his  three  younger  sisters  all  had  their  husbands  and  children, 
while  he  remained  to  be  his  father's  companion  and  to  relieve  him 
of  care  in  his  old  age. 

It  was  natural,  therefore,  that  the  New  Haven  property  should 
pass  into  his  hands  on  his  father's  death.  We  may  suppose,  also, 
that  his  position  in  the  home  made  him  especially  dear  to  Mary, 
Rebecca  and  Abigail,  on  whom  he  bestowed  the  interest  and  aflfec- 
tion  of  an  older  brother. 


468  STEPHEN*   DICKERMAN. 

A  beautiful  proof  of  this  attachment  is  given  in  the  circum- 
stances of  his  death.  Rebecca's  son,  John  Hubbard,  Jr.,  lived  in  a 
house  where  the  "  Springside  Farm  "  now  is.  The  small-pox,  a  dis- 
ease far  more  alarming  then  than  now,  visited  New  Haven  and 
both  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Dickerman  were  attacked.  Thereupon  their 
nephew  came  for  them  and  had  them  removed  to  the  quiet  retire- 
ment of  his  own  home,  where  he  could  give  them  such  care  as  was 
possible.  It  was  a  brave  and  loving  deed,  and  though  it  did  not 
stay  the  malady,  their  last  hours  were  comforted  with  the  thought 
of  being  with  their  friends. 

These  three  younger  sisters  all  married  into  New  Haven  fam- 
ilies. It  was  the  same  also  with  the  children  of  Stephen  as  they 
grew  up.  Moreover  they  made  their  homes  not  far  from  the  old 
place,  and  thus  they  became  a  continuous  element  in  the  com- 
munity. 

In  1853,  and  again  in  1854,  a  family  gathering  was  held  in  New 
Haven — chiefly  of  the  descendants  of  Stephen  Dickerman,  though 
other  branches  were  also  represented.  The  first  occurred  on 
Tuesday,  Aug.  23,  1853.  An  account  was  published  in  the  Journal 
and  Courier  of  the  following  Thursday,  part  of  which  is  here 
given  : 

"  The  descendants  of  Stephen  Dickerman  met  in  a  social  picnic,  on  a  beauti- 
ful eminence,  overlooking  the  city  and  harbor,  under  an  ample  tent,  on  one  of 
the  most  lovely  days.  The  ground  where  the  meeting  was  held  is  now  owned 
by  Mr.  Isaac  Dickerman*  and  has  been  in  the  Dickerman  family  from  one  to 
two  hundred  years,  and  the  broad  and  beautiful  meadows  on  the  plain  below, 
and  the  forest  stretching  back  a  long  distance  to  the  west,  comprising  some  hun- 
dreds of  acres,  constituted  the  farm  owned  by  the  progenitor  of  those  who  were 
there  assembled. 

Stephen  Dickerman  and  his  wife  died  in  1779,  leaving  seven  orphan  children, 
the  youngest  but  three  years  old.  All  those  children  grew  up,  married  and 
became  respectable  citizens  of  New  Haven  and  the  heads  of  large  families.  Two 
of  the  number,  Mr.  Elisha  Dickerman  and  Mrs.  Abigail  Pardee,  still  survive 
and  were  present  at  the  meeting. 

About  one  hundred  and  sixty  members  of  the  family,  representing  all  the 
branches,  assembled  with  but  little  preparation  and  at  short  notice,  but  from  the 
well  filled  baskets  the  tables  were  loaded  with  substantial  food  and  refresh- 
ments. Several  friends  and  connections  of  the  family  were  invited,  and  the 
entire  company  numbered  more  than  two  hundred.  The  party  were  welcomed 
to  the  ground  by  Deacon  Isaac  Dickerman,  in  a  brief  address,  and  the  divine 
blessing  was  invoked  by  Deacon  Eli  Dickerman. 

*  Now,  in  1896,  this  property  is  owned  by  Donald  G.  Mitchell  and  is  famed  as  "  My  Farm  of 
Edgewood." 


NEW   HAVEN,   CONNECTICUT.  469 

After  the  company  had  dined,  the  genealogy  of  the  family  was  read,  and  short 
addresses  were  made  by  Messrs.  Isaac  Dickerman,  Eli  Dickerman,  S.  D.  Pardee, 
Dr.  E.  H.  Bishop,  Elihu  Atwater,  C.  A.  Dickerman  and  Timothy  H.  Plant,  all 
descendant  of  Stephen  Dickerman,  and  several  anecdotes,  illustrative  of  his 
piety  and  benevolence,  were  related.  After  several  hymns  had  been  sung  and  a 
committee  appointed  to  prepare  for  a  more  numerous  gathering  of  the  family 
next  year,  the  meeting  dispersed,  having  spent  a  few  hours  very  pleasantly,  and 
it  is  believed  profitably  to  all  who  attended."

When  the  British  troops  made  their  raid  on  New  Haven,  July 
5,  1779,  Mr.  Huggins  was  taken  prisoner,  as  "bearing  arms  against 
the  King  of  England,"  because  he  was  found  with  a  musket  in  his 
hands.  He  was  put  on  board  the  old  prison  ship  in  New  York, 
but  was  treated  with  kindness  by  the  commander  and  in  a  little 
while  made  his  escape,  probably  with  the  commander's  consent. 

At  the  time  her  husband  was  taken,  Mrs.  Huggins  was  alone  in 
her  house  with  her  two  babes,  when  a  cannon-ball  passed  through 
the  room  where  she  was  sitting.  She  heard  the  tramp  of  soldiers 
in  the  street,  and  a  British  officer  entered  the  door.  He  was  a 
gentleman,  treated  her  with  great  politeness,  told  her  she  had  noth- 
ing to  fear,  and,  as  he  went  away,  wrote  on  the  door  of  the  house, 
"  Let  no  one  enter  here.     By  order  of  Gen.  Garth." 

Later  in  the  day,  her  brother  Isaac  came  and  took  her  out  to  the 
house  of  Col.  Hubbard,  where  she  remained  till  her  husband 
returned. 

"  In  the  early  part  of  the  day  Mr.  Isaac  Dickerman  came  into 
town  from  *  Edgewood  Farm  '  with  an  ox-cart  to  convey  persons 
and  things  from  his  father's  house  on  Broadway  to  Col.  Hubbard's 
place,  which  was  quite  secluded.  He  went  first  to  the  house  of 
Mrs,  Huggins,  which  was  on  lower  Crown  street,  to  bring  away 
some  things  for  that  family.  As  he  passed  along  the  street  with 
his  cart,  so  many  valuable  articles  were  thrown  into  it  by  persons

endeavoring  to  save  their  property,  that  by  the  time  he  reached  his 
father's  house  little  room  was  left  for  the  use  of  those  he  had  come 
especially  to  help.  Some  of  them  climbed  on  the  heaped  up  load  : 
others  walked  by  the  side  of  it,  driving  the  cows  before  them." —

gins of  Branford,  who  is  said  to  have  come  "  from  up  the  country."

NEW  HAVEN,   CONNECTICUT.  487 

'  Mr.  Dickerman  has  given  much  attention  to  fruit  culture  and  is 
an  expert  in  pomology.  He  has  fruited  nearly  three  hundred 
varieties  of  pears,  besides  other  fruits,  and  has  received  a  number 
of  medals  for  exhibits  on  various  occasions :  among  these  was  the 
Wilder  medal  of  1873.  It  has  been  his  delight  to  give  to  others 
grafts  from  his  choice  trees  and  thus  to  encourage  an  important 
industry. 

He  has  also  taken  much  interest  in  tracing  the  family  history 
and  preserving  memorials  of  early  times.  The  youngest  of  his 
father's  family  and  the  only  surviving  member,  he  well  repre- 
sents the  patriarchal  Dickermans.

Rev.  John  Hubbard  was  pastor  of  the  church  in  Meriden,  Conn., 
from  June  22,  1769,  till  his  death.  He  had  been  licensed  to  preach 
by  the  New  Haven  association,  May  27,  1746,  soon  after  which  he 
entered  into  mercantile  business,  and  in  1748  was  in  partnership 
with  Chauncey  Whittlesey,  who  afterward  became  pastor  of  the 
First  church  in  New  Haven. 

His  ordination  at  Meriden  was  attended  with  a  controversy 
which  may  be  viewed  as  a  sequel  to  the  struggle  in  New  Haven  of 
which  an  account  is  given  in  the  twelfth  chapter  of  this  book. 
After  the  final  triumph  of  the  "  separatists  "  in  that  place  the  strife 
was  carried  into  other  fields. 

In  1758,  a  contest  arose  in  Wallingford,  over  the  settlement  of 
Mr.  Dana.  The  "old-light "  party  were  on  his  side,  but  the  asso- 
ciation and  consociation,  which  had  formerly  been  used  against 
the  "  separatists,"  declared  against  his  ordination.  In  spite  of 
this  a  council  was  convened  which  ordained  him.  The  ministers 
in  this  body  were  Messrs.  Joseph  Noyes,  Isaac  Stiles,  Theophilus 
Hall,  Samuel  Whittelsey,  and  because  of  this  proceeding  they 
were  excluded  from  both  ecclesiastical  bodies. 

It  was  about  eight  years  after  this  that  the  question  of  Mr.  Hub- 
bard's settlement  came  up.  His  affiliations  were  with  the  "old 
light"  party.  His  father  had  been  a  champion  of  Mr.  Noyes; 
business  associated  him  intimately  with  Mr.  Chauncey  Whittlesey ; 
and  the  son  of  Mr.  Isaac  Stiles  was  his  brother-in-law — that  bril- 
liant scholar  of  whom  the  whole  family  might  well  be  proud. 

But  the  question  that  came  to  the  front  was  that  of  unsoundness 
in  doctrine.  He  was  a  bold  thinker  and  outspoken  in  his  opinions. 
Living  in  an  intellectual  atmosphere  like  that  which  he  had 
breathed  from  his  boyhood,  it  is  no  wonder  that  his  mind  did  not 
always  keep  to  the  worn  grooves.  His  father  had  studied  for  his 
profession  under  Dr.  Jared  Eliot  of  Killingworth,  and  coming  to 


496  JOHN*   HUBBARD'S  FAMILY. 

New  Haven,  had  cultivated  the  closest  relations  with  scholars  and 
men  of  letters.  Meeting  such  men  continually  and  enjoying  the 
companionship  of  intimates  like  Chauncey  Whittelsey  and  Ezra 
Stiles,  the  son,  like  them,  was  a  seeker  after  truth  and  fearless  of 
any  light  upon  the  problems  of  life. 

So  he  gained  a  reputation  for  being  unorthodox.  This  and  his 
identification  with  the  "old  lights"  made  his  case  critical.  Con- 
sociation and  association  went  against  him,  somewhat  as  against 
Mr.  Dana,  and  the  strife  was  carried  on  for  two  years.  At  length, 
however,  a  council  composed  of  his  friends  and  of  churches  from 
out  of  the  colony  brought  the  case  to  a  close  by  his  ordination. 

The  circumstances  were  so  peculiar  and  so  many  things  were 
involved  which  we  can  hardly  understand  at  the  present  day,  that 
it  is  not  easy  to  judge  of  the  merits  of  this  controversy.  But  one 
thing  is  plain — the  growing  spirit  of  independence.  It  was  now 
within  a  few  years  of  the  American  revolution — and  already  a 
revolution  had  come  with  regard  to  ecclesiastical  domination  over 
the  local  church. 

Mr.  Hubbard's  pastorate  was  happy,  notwithstanding  this 
stormy  beginning.  His  personal  qualities  were  so  excellent  and 
his  abilities  so  manifest  that  he  won  over  those  opposed  to  him 
and  became  generally  esteemed.  The  Connecticut  Journal  says  of 
him,  Nov.  2,  1786  : 

"  Never  was  a  pastor  more  sincerely  beloved  by  his  flock,  which  in  his  visita- 
tations  as  well  as  in  the  ministrations  of  the  sanctuary  beheld  his  face,  as  it  had 
been  the  face  of  an  angel,  for  he  was  conversant  among  them  with  gravity, 
prudence,  wisdom  and  benevolence."

CHAPTER    XVII. 


THE  FOOTE  AND  ROBBINS  FAMILY  OF  BRANFORD. 

"  A  philosophy  of  history  is  possible  because  progress  toward  an  ideal  can  be 

traced The  educator,  the  statesman,  the  philanthropist,  the  artist, 

sees  the  day  which  is  dawning  and  lives  in  the  power  of  a  world  to  come," 

— George  Harris. 

The  tract  of  country  lying  between  what  is  now  East  Haven 
and  Guilford  was  originally  known  as  Totoket.  In  1644  it  was 
sold  to  William  Swain  and  others  of  Wethersfield,  who  estab- 
lished a  settlement  there  under  the  jurisdiction  of  New  Haven. 
They  were  joined  by  a  company  from  Southampton,  L.  I.,  under 
Rev.  Abraham  Pierson,  who  became  the  minister  of  the  com- 
munity.    The  town  was  named  Branford. 

Upon  the  consolidation  of  New  Haven  Colony  with  Connect- 
icut in  1664,  Mr.  Pierson  and  nearly  the  whole  of  his  church  were 
so  aggrieved  that  they  removed  to  Newark,  N.  J.,  and  left  the 
place  almost  uninhabited,  so  that  there  was  no  church  there  for 
over  twenty  years.  But  people  moved  in  and  gradually  the  town 
became  populous  enough  to  have  a  church,  which  was  organized 
anew  in  1688. 

Robert*  Foote  came  from  Wethersfield  and  lived  first  at  Wal- 
lingford,  where  it  is  recorded — 

'^'  2otk  Oct.  1674,  voted  that  Good"  Foote  shall  have  liberty  to  buy  the  lott,  y'  is 
Joseph  Eives  provided  he  procure  sufficient  testimony  of  his  good  conversation

and  again  in  the  following  January  : 

"The  testimony  for  Good"  foote  being  severente  and  axepted,  he  was 
admitted  a  planter  upon  the  lott  that  was  Joseph  eives." 

In  1678,  and  thereafter  till  his  death,  in  1681,  he  was  of  Branford. 

His  son,  Isaac  Foote,  was  of  North  Branford,  and  of  that  part 
now  known  as  Northford.  Here  was  the  home  to  which  he 
brought  his  wife,  Rebecca  Dickerman,  and  here  their  children 
were  born  and  reared.

are  such  that  if  invocation  of  saints  were  a  doctrine  admissible,  I  should 
lift  up  to  him  my  prayers  to  intercede  for  me,  for  the  prayers  of  the 
righteous  avail  much.  I  could  do  it  as  heartily  as  the  Irish  Catholic 
looks  up  to  St.  Patrick,  or  the  Parisian  nun  to  St.  Genevieve.  ...  I 
stand  rebuked  for  even  the  imagination  of  an  intercessory  saint  in  glory. 
But  my  feelings !  All  the  gushing  tide  of  youthful  affection  and  rever- 
ence comes  upon  me,  and  before  I  am  aware,  I  am  ready  to  cry  out :

The  period  between  1740  and  1760  was  marked  by  the  rise  of  a 
military  spirit  in  New  England.  This  is  alluded  to  on  page  301. 
The  colonists  were  confronted  with  a  scheme  of  conquest  which 
threatened  to  bring  them  under  the  rule  of  France,  and  thus  to 
root  up  their  most  cherished  rights  and  liberties. 

Isaac  Foote  was  one  of  those  whose  patriotism  led  him  into  the 
army.  The  records  do  not  tell  us  what  part  he  bore  in  those  early 
campaigns  which  culminated  in  the  capture  of  Louisburg.  But 
in  the  succeeding  war  of  1755  we  find  him  holding  the  rank  of 
Major,  which  indicates  that  he  must  have  borne  some  honorable 
part  in  the  previous  struggle. 


506  MAJOR  ISAAC*   FOOTE. 

The  regiment  in  which  he  served  was  under  Gen.  Shirley,  and 
was  engaged  in  movements  in  the  region  north  of  Albany  and 
between  Lake  Champlain  and  Lake  Ontario.  Only  a  few  weeks 
after  their  arrival  there  he  fell  ill,  and  the  disease  became  so 
serious  that  he  asked  leave  of  absence  ;  but  he  was  not  able  to 
reach  home  and  died  at  Greenbush,  opposite  Albany,  on  his  way. 

An  incident  shows  us  the  man  he  was.  "  While  his  detachment 
was  at  Albany  Gen.  Shirley  had  a  dining  party  of  which  Major 
Foote  was  one,  on  the  Sabbath.  Having  attended  public  worship 
in  the  morning  he  went  to  the  dinner.  Then  at  the  call  for  after- 
noon service  Major  Foote  rose  at  table  and  asked  permission  to 
leave  the  company.  Gen.  Shirley  said,  '  No,  Major,  do  not  leave 
this  company  and  these  choice  wines.'  He  modestly  renewed  the 
request  and  was  refused,  as  before.  Major  Foote  stood  but  was 
silent.  The  General  spoke  again  :  '  No  compulsion,  Major,  take 
your  choice  ;  leave  if  you  wish.'  Whereupon  he  took  a  respectful 
leave  for  the  house  of  prayer." 

A  number  of  his  letters  are  published  in  the  Foote  Genealogy,  all 
of  which  breathe  a  deeply  religious  spirit.  Some  passages  from 
these  are  here  given  : 

"Fort  Nicholson,  Aug.  ij,  i7S5-  I  am  now  arrived  at  the  great  carrying-place 
where  Gen.  Lyman  buih  a  fort.     I  do  not  expect  to  write  you  any  letters  before 

we  attack  the  fort  and  have  an  engagement The  great  part  of  your 

care  must  be  in  bringing  up  the  dear  children  ;  use  your  utmost  endeavor  to 
iustruct  them  in  the  principles  of  religion  ;  pray  much  with  them  and  for  them. 
I  hope  your  heart  is  fixed,  trusting  in  God,  so  that  evil  tidings  shall  not  make 
you  afraid." 

"Aug.  2oth.  We  have  orders  to  move  forward  our  regiments.  I  am  not  well, 
but  resigned  to  the  will  of  God I  now  have  the  distemper  that  pre- 
vails among  us,  though  not  mortal,  except  in  two  instances.  But  I  am  in  safe 
hands.  Do  not  be  concerned  about  me.  You  may  mention  the  case  to  a 
prayer-hearing  God  and  desire  the  prayers  of  my  Christian  friends." 

"  Sep.  1st.  I  left  the  camp  about  a  week  ago  on  account  of  my  ill-health  ;  am 
now  pretty  well  recovered  and  design  to  go  to  the  army  to-morrow.  Gen.  John- 
son, with  1500  men,  is  at  the  Lake  St.  Savian,  building  a  fort,  and  some  things 

look  discouraging I  hope  you  and  the  few  dear  praying  ones  will 

continue  to  besiege  the  throne  of  grace.  You  may  do  more  than  Gen.  Johnson 
can  with  his  army.  Oh,  the  prayer  of  saints — I  had  almost  said  omnipotent  ! 
Mr.  Bellamy,  in  a  letter,  tells  me  all  the  children  of  God  lie  prostrate  before  the 
Lord  for  success  in  this  enterprise.  Oh,  amazing  grace  !  how  safe  is  the 
believer  :  perils  and  dangers  he  may  pass  through,  afflictions  may  compass  him 
like  bees,  death  may  stare  him  in  the  face  and  threaten  an  onset  ;  serene  and 
calm  he  awaits  the  blow." 


BRANFORD,   CONNECTICUT.  507 

^^  Flats,  4  miles  above  Albany,  Sep.  75",  17^^.  I  am  here  at  Colonel  Schuyler's 
waiting  for  a  guard,  for  it  is  not  deemed  safe  to  go  alone.  I  am  in  a  very  feeble 
state  of  health  ;  ....  if  I  were  at  home  I  should  quite  give  out.  I  am 
tenderly  looked  after,  go  where  I  will,  and  treated  very  kindly.  I  know  not 
when  I  shall  go  home,  if  ever.  I  would  have  you  cast  all  your  care  upon  God. 
He  will  support  you.  Is  he  not  better  to  you  than  any  earthly  friend  ?  I  am 
sure  he  is  to  me  ;  when  dejected  he  raises  me  up  ;  when  fainting  he  gives  me 
refreshing  cordials  ;  when  thirsty  he  gives  me  the  waters  of  life.  " 

"  Thursday  morning.  Slept  comfortably  ;  hope  you  had  a  good  night  and 
freedom  this  morning  to  pour  out  your  soul  to  God.  I  am  very  poor  and  pained 
to-day,  but  it  is  all  well,  because  as  to  health  it  is  as  God  would  have  it.  It  is 
now  9  o'clock.  I  will  lay  down  and  rest  my  poor  body,  if  God  pleases,  and 
to-morrow  I  may  perhaps  write  more  ;  and  so  goodnight  to  you  and  the  children 
and  friends." 

So,  as  his  life  ebbed  away,  this  soldier  of  the  old  colonial  times 
was  comforted,  as  so  many  have  been  in  every  period,  by  thoughts 
of  the  divine  care.  His  body  was  laid  in  the  ancient  burying- 
ground  opposite  the  lower  part  of  the  city  of  Albany,  not  far 
from  the  fence  and  near  the  gate.  The  stone  at  his  grave  bears 
this  inscription*: 

"  Here  lyeth  the  body  of  Major  Isaac  Foote  of  Branford,  who  departed  this 
life  the  7th  October  1755  aged  38  years,  2  months  and  7  days."

Two  sons,  Hiram'  and  William',  both  married  and  went  west ; 
no  further  record. 

Philemon  Robbins  is  a  sharply-defined  figure  of  the  last  half- 
century  of  the  colonial  period — especially  interesting  because  he 
stood  for  rights  which  are  now  generally  recognized,  but  were 
then  asserted  at  no  little  cost. 

The  place  of  his  birth  and  early  life  was  Cambridge,  Mass., 
where  the  family  had  lived  since  1639.  He  was  graduated  from 
Harvard  College  in  1729,  aftef  which  he  "kept  a  classical  school 
at  Andover,"  as  his  diary  says,  "  and  studied  the  Bible  and  various 
works  on  divinity."*    In  1731,  he  made  a  visit  to  New  Haven  with  a

who  has  allowed  us  to  copy  the  following  entries.

classmate  to  attend  the  Yale  commencement.  While  there  he  was 
invited  to  preach  at  Branford,  which  led  to  a  call,  and  in  due  time 
to  his  ordination. 

Some  seven  years  later  he  went  through  a  spiritual  reconstruc- 
tion so  complete  as  to  mark  an  epoch  in  his  life.  It  was  about 
two  years  after  the  revival  of  1735,  and  two  years  before  the  more 
extensive  movement  of  1740,  {pages  2Sp-2po.)  Seriousness  was 
abroad  in  many  minds.  People  were  searching  the  foundations  of 
their  belief  and  trying  to  distinguish  what  was  true  from  the  false. 
In  his  case  the  search  was  so  honest  and  thorough  that  he  became 
like  a  new  man.  He  was  even  accustomed  to  speak  of  it  as  the 
beginning  of  his  religious  life. 

The  general  movement  was  from  a  system  of  things  which  was 
formal,  dogmatic  and  perfunctory,  to  a  faith  that  was  living,  ethi- 
cal and  spiritual.  And  when  a  strong,  earnest  soul,  with  many  a 
struggle,  had  found  his  way  to  such  a  faith  it  could  not  be  without 
practical  effect.  It  made  the  old  artificial  way  of  doing  things  an 
impossibility.     It  filled  action  with  a  great  purpose. 

Mr.  Robbins  wanted  new  life  for  his  people,  as  well  as  himself. 
Hence  he  reached  out  for  those  stirring,  penetrating  preachers 
that  were  going  about  New  England — Bellamy,  Wheelock  and 
others — and  welcomed  them  to  his  pulpit.  When  Whitefield  came 
this  way  and  most  of  the  churches  gave  him  the  cold  shoulder, 
here  was  one  who  had  for  him  a  cordial  greeting.  He  saw  the 
new  light  breaking,  and  it  made  him  glad.

512  REV.    PHILEMON    ROBBINS. 

But  he  was  no  fanatic,  nor  friend  of  fanaticism.  When  James 
Davenport  came  to  Branford  and  went  singing  on  the  road  to 
public  worship,  he  was  greatly  disturbed  by  the  breach  of  decorum 
and  reproved  him  for  it. 

Mr.  Robbins  was  brought  into  trouble  by  preaching  to  a  little 
Baptist  congregation  in  Wallingford.  Dr.  Bellamy  had  preached 
there,  and  they  asked  Mr.  Robbins  to  do  the  same.  He  said  that 
he  would  and  set  the  day.  Then  came  a  letter  signed  by  forty  men 
asking  him  to  refrain  from  it,  and  Rev.  Isaac  Stiles  and  Rev. 
Jacob  Hemingway  also  put  in  their  objections.  But  having  made 
the  engagement  he  could  see  no  reason  for  breaking  it.  So  he 
went  on  and  held  the  service. 

For  this  he  was  called  to  account  before  the  consociation  and 
the  association.  In  ordinary  times  nothing  serious  would  have 
followed.  But  it  was  just  when  the  alarm  was  rising  and  spread- 
ing, over  the  independent  spirit  that  was  abroad.  The  two  old 
leading  churches  at  New  Haven  and  Milford  were  both  split  in 
two  already,  and  contention  was  rife  in  all  the  churches.  Conser- 
vative people,  who  could  see  nothing  but  evil  in  a  disturbance  of 
old  usages,  concluded  that  the  innovations  must  be  put  down  by 
force.  Legislation  had  been  obtained  against  ministers  preaching 
in  other  parishes  than  their  own.  The  determination  was  formed 
to  use  the  consociation  as  well  as  the  law  to  bring  into  subjection 
those  who  should  presume  to  do  things  out  of  the  ordinary  course. 
Just  at  this  time,  he  drove  over  the  boundary  line  and  preached 
in  Wallingford,  and  that  singled  him  out  as  one  to  make  an 
example  of. 

The  trial  lasted  over  five  years.  He  made  humble  apologies, 
confessed  that  he  had  over-stepped  the  rules  of  order  and  asked  to 
be  forgiven.     His  final  statement  concluded  with  these  words. 

"And  now  gentlemen,  I  humbly  beg  forgiveness,:  let  my  ignorance  of  its 
being  a  crime  apologize  for  me,  that  I  may  be  restored.  And  I  would  humbly 
offer  one  motive  to  engage  your  compassion,  viz.  a  prospect  of  peace  among  my 
people,  who  have  been  uneasy,  for  I  think  that  in  other  respects  they  are 
friendly  and  kind  ;  but  this  case  has  been  an  uneasiness  with  them,  and  a  prin- 
cipal uneasiness,  if  I  may  judge  by  their  complaints,  or  what  I  hear  from  their 
own  mouths.  And  therefore,  gentlemen,  as  you  are  professed  lovers  of  peace, 
you  will  undoubtedly  promote  it,  by  restoring  your  unworthy  servant." 

This  would  seem  to  have  been  ample  acknowledgment ;  but  it 
was  not  thought  best  to  accept  it.  The  church  at  Branford  was 
not  a  consociated  church  and  had  voted  that  they  were  not.     But 


BRANFORD,  CONNECTICUT.  513 

there  was  a  disposition  to  employ  this  body  to  manage  churches, 
even  if  they  were  not  under  its  jurisdiction.  So  now  they  stretched 
their  prerogatives  and  assumed  to  "  depose  Mr.  Robbins  from  his 
pastorate  at  Branford  and  to  debar  and  suspend  him  from  com- 
munion in  any  of  the  churches." 

Upon  the  Sunday  following  this  action,  Mr.  Robbins  preached 
from  I  Cor.  9  :  16  :  "  For  necessity  is  laid  upon  me  ;  yea  woe  is  unto 
me  if  I  preach  not  the  gospel."  Some  of  the  people  went  to  meet- 
ing with  hesitation  ;  but  he  made  such  an  extraordinary  prayer  as 
arrested  the  attention  of  all  and  made  a  deep  impression  on  their 
minds.  They  tarried  to  hear  what  he  would  preach.  Here  again 
he  gained  their  attention  and  entered  into  their  feelings.  His  dis- 
course was  not  less  extraordinary  than  his  prayer.  He  continued 
preaching  and  performed  all  ministerial  duties  as  he  had  done 
before,  and  the  people  attended  his  ministrations.  The  society 
advanced  his  salary  and  encouraged  him  by  public  acts  of  gen- 
erosity. 

He  was,  indeed,  shut  out  from  ministerial  fellowship,  to  some 
extent,  and  suffered  inconvenience  in  many  ways.  But  the  injus- 
tice was  too  manifest,  and  eventually  recoiled  on  those  engaged 
in  it.* 

Mr.  Robbins  held  the  personal  respect  of  those  who  knew  him, 
and,  as  time  went  on,  was  accorded  his  rightful  place  in  ecclesias- 
tical meetings.  He  was  invited  to  sit  with  the  consociation  at  the 
ordination  of  Mr.  Street  in  East  Haven  :  also  in  the  council  at 
Wallingford  where  Mr.  Dana  was  refused  ordination.  He  was 
one  of  the  council  which  installed  Mr.  Bird  as  pastor  of  the  church 
at  New  Haven,  and  seems  to  have  had  the  sympathy  of  progressive 
men  when  his  way  was  darkest. 

Rev.  Dr.  Benjamin  Trumbull  in  his  History  of  Connecticut 
devotes  some  thirty-five  pages  to  a  discussion  of  this  case,  at  the 
end  of  which  he  says  : 

"Mr.  Robbins  was  a  most  inoffensive  gentleman;  mild,  peaceable  and  a 
peacemaker  ;  was  uncommonly  gifted  in  prayer  ;  a  sound  and  searching  preacher 
and  greatly  beloved  by  his  people.  He  was  popular  in  the  neighboring  towns 
and  societies  and  gradually  grew  into  esteem  among  his  brethren  in  the 
ministry." 

To  this  we  add  the  following  from  the  pen  of  his  grandson.  Dr. 
Thomas  Robbins :

"  In  person,  Mr.  Robbins  was  about  the  middle  height.  He  was  distinguished 
for  activit}'  and  readiness  of  mind,  and  for  a  quick  and  retentive  memory.  He 
had  a  strong  and  pleasant  voice  ;  his  manner  was  free  and  engaging  and  breathed 
much  of  the  natural  benevolence  of  his  spirit.  He  preached  from  short  notes, 
and  had  a  ready  command  of  language  in  extemporaneous  speaking."*

Chandler'  Robbins  was  graduated  at  Yale  in  1756.  He  became 
proficient  in  the  French  language,  an  acquirement  somewhat  rare 
at  that  time.  For  a  time  after  graduation  he  was  in  the  family 
of  Rev.  Dr.  Sproat  of  Guilford :  then  taught  in  Dr.  Wheelock's 
Indian  school  at  Lebanon,  and  after  that  studied  theology  under 
Dr.  Bellamy.  Having  received  a  license  to  preach,  he  was  recom- 
mended by  Dr.  Sproat  to  the  people  of  Plymouth,  who  heard  him 
in  their  pulpit  and  eventually  called  him  to  become  their  pastor. 
The  call  was  accepted  and  his  ordination  took  place  Jan.  30,  1760, 
his  father  preaching  the  sermon.

PLYMOUTH,   MASSACHUSETTS.  515 

Here  he  remained  till  the  close  of  his  life,  a  period  of  nearly 
forty  years.  His  pastoral  charge  extended  over  a  wide  territory, 
and  in  1795,  embraced  not  less  than  twenty-five  hundred  souls. 
He  was  abundant  in  his  labors,  and  was  successful,  not  only  in 
preserving  the  harmony  of  his  congregation,  which  had  been 
somewhat  divided  before,  but  in  ministering  to  their  edification 
and  spiritual  growth.  He  received  the  degree  of  D.D.  from  Dart- 
mouth Coll.,  in  1792,  and  from  the  University  of  Edinburgh  in 
1793.     A  list  of  his  published  works  is  given  in  Sprague's  Annals. 

His  nephew,  Dr.  Thomas  Robbins,  says  concerning  him  : 

"  I  knew  him  well  from  my  earliest  years,  and  not  only  loved  him  as  a  relative, 
but  esteemed  him  highly  as  a  man  and  a  minister.  He  was  of  medium  stature, 
erect  and  symmetrical  in  form  and  with  a  countenance  expressive  of  great  kind- 
ness. There  was  no  sternness  either  in  his  face  or  in  his  nature.  He  was  a  fine 
model  of  a  Christian  gentlemen.  With  great  urbanity  and  respect  for  the 
feelings  of  others,  he  united  a  remarkable  simplicity  that  made  him  acceptable  to 
all  classes.  He  had  a  fine  talent  at  conversation — talked  with  ease,  fluency  and 
to  the  point,  and  loved  to  make  all  around  him  happy. 

His  sermons  were  not  generally  written  out  at  length,  but  in  outline.  He 
spoke  extempore  with  ease  and  grace  :  his  voice  was  melodious  :  his  gesture 
appropriate,  and  there  was  an  air  of  sincerity  and  deep  feeling  well  fitted  to  hold 
attention.  He  was  decidedly  a  Calvinist,  yet  hardly  of  the  strictest  school.  His 
preaching  was  practical  rather  than  doctrinal  and  he  was  an  earnest  friend  of 
revivals  of  religion.  He  had  great  reverence  for  the  Pilgrim  Fathers,  which  was, 
no  doubt,  increased  by  the  hallowed  associations  of  the  spot  on  which  he 
resided." — Sprague's  Annals,  I,  S73~S75-

of  1 82 1  to  South  Carolina  and  settled  at  Society  Hill  in  Darling- 
ton District. 

He  was  obliged  to  earn  his  support  and  found  it  hard  at  first  to 
make  the  ends  meet.  Not  being  able  to  own  a  horse,  he  was 
accustomed  to  walk  to  Darlington,  Chesterfield  and  Marlboro  to 
attend  court.  A  friend  offered  him  money  on  his  own  time  but 
he  declined  the  favor,  preferring  not  to  run  in  debt. 

After  his  removal  to  Cheraw,  about  1823,  his  practice  became 
remunerative.  His  business  was  chiefly  that  of  a  counsellor  in 
the  collection  of  accounts  and  the  settlement  of  estates ;  and  he 
had  a  high  reputation  for  legal  knowledge  and  accuracy. 

His  sympathies  were  broad  and  his  charity  generous.  He  took 
especial  interest  in  an  orphan  boy,  James  H.  Thornwell,  who 
afterward  attained  eminence,  and  who  undoubtedly  owed  much 
to  Mr.  Robbins'  helpful,  inspiring  influence.  This  is  referred  to 
with  deep  appreciation  in  The  Life  and  Letters  of  Thornwell  by 
Rev.  B.  M.  Palmer,  D.D.,  of  New  Orleans.

(  Hannah  H.  Marshall. 

268.  Chandler  Robbins'^  Oilman,  son  of  Benjamin  Ives  and 
Hannah  (Robbins)  Oilman,  b.  Sep.  6,  1802,  at  Marietta,  O.,  d.  Sep. 
26,  1865,  at  Middletown,  Conn.  m.  (i)  Nov.  3,  1825,  Serena  Hoff- 
man, dau.  of  Martin  Hoffman,  Sr.,  of  New  York,  b.  Feb.  28,  1803, 
d.  Feb.  28,  1842  ;  m.  (2)  Sep.  19,  1844,  Hannah  Hawkhurst  Marshall, 
dau.  of  Capt.  David  Marshall,  of  New  York. 

He  was  educated  at  Phillips  Academy,  Andover,  and  Harvard 
College  ;  received  the  degree  of  M.D.  from  the  University  of 
Penn.  in  1824,  and  soon  after  went  to  New  York,  where  he  passed 
his  professional  life.  From  1841  till  his  death  he  was  a  professor 
in  the  College  of  Physicians  and  Surgeons.  As  a  lecturer  and 
teacher  he  was  exceedingly  successful.  The  moral  tone  of  his 
lectures  was  very  high.  He  continually  uttered  such  maxims  as, 
that  a  man  was  not  to  be  called  successful  because  he  made  money, 
that  a  lie  in  the  profession  was  as  bad  as  a  lie  out  of  it,  that  his 
hearers  would  save  themselves  much  anxiety  if  they  would  simply 
do  their  duty,  and  leave  results  with  Ood,  to  whom  they  belong. 
A  single  passage  from  one  of  his  addresses  illustrates  his  style  of 
speech.  This  address  was  given  Oct.  20,  1856,  at  the  opening  of 
the  new  college  hall,  in  which  was  a  tablet  to  the  memory  of  stu- 
dents who  had  died  of  pestilential  disease. 


524  DR.   CHANDLER   R.'  OILMAN. 

"  On  this  tablet  are  engraven  the  brief  histories  of  some  who  have  gone  before 
you,  and  who,  after  short  service,  have  been  enrolled  among  those  whose  names 
science  and  humanity  will  never  allow  to  die.  This  tablet  tells  you,  and  those 
who  come  after  you,  that  when  pestilence  was  rife  in  our  hospitals — when  in 
those  wards  devoted  to  public  health,  death  held  high  festival,  selecting  his  daily 
victims  at  his  will — when  to  minister  to  the  afflicted  and  dying  was  almost  cer- 
tainly to  share  their  fate,  these  graduates  of  the  College  of  Physicians  and  Sur- 
geons were  ready  to  labor  night  and  day  in  the  cause  of  suffering  humanity  ; 
and  as  often  as  one  of  the  number — called  to  his  rest — left  a  place  vacant,  a 
score  of  candidates  sprang  forward  ready  and  anxious  to  fill  that  place  of  dan- 
ger and  death  ;  and  this  continued  until  fourteen  young  physicians  had,  by  an 
early  death,  earned  a  place  among  the  martyrs  of  humanity.  Such  is  the  proud 
ornament  of  our  hall,  and  such  the  story  it  tells  of  those  who  have  here  been 
trained  to  something  higher  than  medical  science — something  nobler  than  pro- 
fessional skill.  To  the  priceless  heritage  of  this  good  example  we  make  you 
welcome.  It  is  yours  ;  follow  it  ;  and  may  your  professional  career  be,  for  your 
own  sakes,  as  bright  and  honorable  as  theirs  !  and,  for  the  sake  of  your  country 
and  friends,  may  it  be  longer  and  happier  !" 

Early  in  life  he,  with  his  relative  Charles  Fenno  Hoffman,  had 
charge  of  the  "American  Monthly."  Besides  numerous  contribu- 
tions to  medical  magazines,  he  was  the  author  of  a  number  of 
books.  See  Appleton's  Cyclopcedia  of  Biography^  and  The  Gilman

Hannah  (Robbins)  Gilman,  b.  March  28,  1808,  at  Marietta,  d.  Oct. 
3,  1884,  at  ''Heyhoe,"  Palisades,  Rockland  Co.,  N.  Y.  m.  Dec.  4, 
1834,  at  Carrollton,  Ills.,  Abia  Swift  Lippincott,  dau.  of  Rev. 
Thomas  and  Patience  (Swift)  Lippincott,  b.  July  3,  181 7. 

In  1829  he  settled  at  Alton,  Ills,  and  remained  there  till  1843, 
when  he  went  to  St.  Louis,  and  thence  in  1849  to  New  York. 
While  he  was  at  Alton  the  abolition  riots  occurred  which  resulted 
in  the  death  of  Lovejoy.  Though  Mr.  Gilman  was  not  one  of  the 
Abolition  Society,  he  did  not  shrink  from  giving  efficient  aid  to 
their  cause.  At  a  citizen's  meeting  Nov.  2,  1837,  he  presented 
resolutions  declaring  the  right  of  every  citizen  to  speak,  write 
and  print  his  opinions  on  any  subject,  being  responsible  for  the 
abuse  of  that  right  to  the  law  as  administered  in  the  regular  tri- 
bunals, and  that  protection  was  due  to  Mr.  Lovejoy,  the  editor  of 
the  Alton  Observer.  The  resolutions  were  referred  to  a  committee 
who  reported  at  a  meeting  the  next  day,  that  it  is  expedient  to 
abstain  from  a  discussion  of  principles  in  themselves  deemed 
right,  and  that  Mr.  Lovejoy  should  not  be  allowed  to  conduct  a 
paper.  Against  this  report  Mr.  Gilman  alone  protested.  The 
press  which  had  been  previously  ordered  arrived  on  the  night  of 
Nov.  6.  Mr.  Gilman  received  it  to  his  warehouse  and  had  it 
snugly  packed  in  the  third  story,  while  citizens  volunteered  to 
guard  it.  On  the  next  night  the  warehouse  was  attacked  and 
fired  by  a  mob,  the  press  destroyed  and  Lovejoy  murdered.  A 
full  account  is  given  in  Tanner's  Martyrdom  of  Lovejoy.

Ammi  R.*  Robbins= Elizabeth  Le  Baron. 

258.  Ammi  Ruhamah'  Robbins,  son  of  Rev.  Philemon*  and 
Hannah  (Foote)  Robbins,  b.  Sep.  3,  1740  (Aug.  25,  O.  S.),  at  Bran- 
ford,  d.  Oct.  31,  1813,  at  Norfolk.  Yale  Coll.  1760.  m.  May  16, 
1762,  at  Plymouth,  Mass.,  Elizabeth  Le  Baron,  d.  Sep.  28,  1829, 
age  83,  dau.  of  Dr.  Lazarus  and  Lydia  (Bradford)  Le  Baron. 
Chart  XVIII. 

Mr.  Robbins  was  fitted  for  college  by  his  father  and  went  first  to 
Nassau  Hall  (now  Princeton),  on  account  of  the  intimacy  between 
President  Burr  and  his  father.  President  Burr  died  during 
the  following  year,  and  he  was  transferred  to  Yale  that  he  might 
be  nearer  home.  The  Sophomores  were  quite  indignant  that  he 
should,  in  this  way,  have  escaped  the  trials  of  freshman  year,  and 
to  propitiate  them  he  prepared,  at  his  father's  advice,  a  general 
entertainment  which  gained  for  him  their  friendship.  After 
graduation  he  taught  school  for  a  time  at  Plymouth,  Mass. ; 
studied  theology  with  Dr.  Joseph  Bellamy,  and  was  ordained  at 
Norfolk,  Oct.  28,  1761,  within  thirteen  months  after  his  graduation 
and  at  the  age  of  twenty-one.  Here  he  continued  for  fifty-one 
years,  till  his  death.  The  church  was  new,  but  under  his  ministry 
grew  into  one  of  the  largest  and  most  prosperous  in  the  state. 
With  his  ministerial  labors  he  connected  those  of  a  teacher  and 
almost  always  had  a  number  of  students  with  him  fitting  for 
college. 

When  the  Revolution  came  he  was  awake  to  the  exigency  and 
met  it  like  a  patriot,  going  as  a  chaplain  in  the  army.  He  writes 
thus  in  his  diary  : 

March  18,  1776.  Took  an  affectionate  leave  of  home,  met  the  Colonel  at 
Canaan  ;  dined  at  brother  Keep's  in  Sheffield  ;  had  a  most  agreeable  interview, 
prayed  together  and  parted  in  the  most  friendly  and  tender  manner. 

Albany,  21st.  Crossed  the  river;  visited  the  graves  of  those  who  died  in  the 
French  war  ;  dropped  a  tear  on  my  dear  Uncle  Foote's  grave. 

Lord's  day,  24th,  at  Albany.  Prayed  in  the  family,  then  on  parade  with  the 
regiment ;  at  ten  and  a  half  preached  in  the  Presbyterian  Church  from  HosEA, 
"  I  will  go  and  return  to  my  place  till  they  acknowledge  their  offense  and  seek 
my  face."     F.  M.    Micah  5.5,  "And  this  man  shall  be  the  peace." 

Lord's  day,  jist.  In  same  church.  A.M.  on  "Christian  Armor."  P.  M. 
Exodus  33.15,  "  If  thy  presence  go  not  with  me,  carry  us  not  up  hence."  Great 
Assembly,  Gen'l  Schuyler's  family  and  aid  de  camp  and  many  officers  present.

He  speaks  of  using  "great  plainness  "  ;  is  greatly  shocked  and 
pained  to  see  the  wickedness  of  the  people  of  the  city  on  the 
Sabbath  and  says  "  it  is  a  high  play  day."  While  he  was  with  the 
army  it  was  visited  with  the  small-pox.  His  health  became 
impaired  and  he  performed  his  duties  under  great  difficulties. 

Monday,  July  2j.  Was  brought  in  a  carriage  to  Stillwater.  Dr.  Merwin 
attended  me  ;  says  there  is  no  prospect  of  my  being  able  to  return  to  the  camp 
for  three  or  four  weeks  ;  advises  me  to  try  and  get  home.  I  am  peculiarly  unfit- 
ted to  do  the  duties  of  a  chaplain  on  account  of  my  bilious  constitution.  I 
envy  brother  Avery  his  health.  He  will  go  through  the  hospital,  when  pesti- 
ferous as  disease  and  death  can  make  it,  with  a  face  as  smooth  as  a  baby's  and 
afterwards  an  appetite  as  healthy  as  a  wood  chopper's.  I  cannot  ;  after  inhaling 
such  diseased  breath  I  am  sick  and  faint  ;  besides  their  sorrows  take  hold  of  me. 
I  would  not  shrink  from  the  work  ;  our  war  is  a  righteous  war;  our  men  are 
called  to  defend  their  country  ;  whole  congregations  turn  out,  and  the  ministers 
of  the  gospel  should  go  and  encourage  them  when  doing  their  duty,  attend  and 
pray  for  and  with  them  when  sick,  and  bury  them  when  they  die.  I  hope  to 
return  to  my  work. 

Aug.  jst.     Home,  and  have,  I  trust,  a  grateful  sense  of  the  divine  goodness. 

Monday,  Aug.  ig.     Took  leave  of  friends  to  join  the  regiment. 

Friday,  Aug.  2j>.  Rode  with  Dr.  Potts  to  Lake  George.  He  told  me  it  was 
at  the  risk  of  my  life  to  go  into  the  hospitals.  But  if  the  physician  goes,  why 
not  a  minister  of  the  great  physician  ? 

His  wife  was  once  talking  anxiously  and  asking  what  would 
become  of  the  children  if  he  should  be  taken  away,  and  he 
answered,  "  If  God  feeds  the  sparrows  he  will  surely  provide  for 
the  little  Robbins." 

He  had  naturally  a  good  constitution  and  vigorous  health,  a  fine 
voice  and  a  gift  for  extempore  preaching.  He  believed  in  revi- 
vals, and  some  of  great  power  attended  his  ministry.  He  preached 
about  6500  sermons,  and  is  said  to  have  conducted  worship  in 
every  town  in  the  state  but  three.  In  1794-6,  by  appointment  of 
the  general  association,  he  made  five  tours  of  missionary  service 
in  the  new  settlements  of  Vermont  and  New  York,  two  of  these  in 
company  with  his  brother-in-law.  Rev.  Peter  Starr.  In  these 
tours  three  churches  were  gathered,  three  ordinations  performed, 
thirty-eight  persons  baptized,  one  hundred  and  forty-five  sermons 
preached,  and  a  great  many  pioneer  homes  visited. 

In  his  last  illness,  which  was  protracted  and  attended  with  much 
suffering  from  a  cancer,  he  called  the  children  of  his  parish  about 
him — of  whom  he  had  married  the  grandparents  of  not  a  few — 
that  he  might  give  them  his  farewell  counsel  and  blessing.     In  his

last  hours  he  had  bright  anticipations  of  future  glory,  exclaiming, 
"Oh,  it  is  a  heaven  worth  dying  for,  to  see  Christ  as  he  is." 

Dr.  McEwen  said,  as  late  as  1852,  "  It  would  be  difficult  to  select 
a  minister  in  Connecticut  who  has  been  more  popular  with  his 
people,  or  who  has  exercised  over  them  a  more  complete  and  use-

unmarried,  leaving  a  memory  fragrant  with  works  of  love  and 
Christian  charity.  In  connection  with  her  brother,  Robbins,  she 
erected  in  loving  memory  of  her  grandfather.  Rev.  Ammi  R. 
Robbins,  D.D.,  on  the  ground  deeded  to  him  as  a  homestead  in 
1761,  a  commodious  school  building  and  tasteful  dwelling  for  the 
use  of  principal  and  pupils,  and  dedicated  it  under  the  name  of 
the  "  Robbins  School,"  for  the  purpose  of  fitting  boys  for  college. 
How  many  have  received  of  her  bounty,  as  well  as  loving  words  of 
cheer,  no  pen  will  ever  tell.

March  19,  1851,  ae.  26,  dau.  of  George  S.  and  Elizabeth  Mills  of 
Newark,  N.  J.  He  was  a  Colonel  of  State  Militia,  several  times 
Member  of  the  Legislature,  in  1866  State  Comptroller,  and  in 
February,  1861,  one  of  the  delegates  to  the  Peace  Commission  at 
Washington.  He  was  a  man  of  unquestioned  integrity,  quiet 
temper,  gentle  and  winsome  manners,  but  firm  convictions,  with  a 
generosity  measured  only  in  part  by  his  gifts  for  charity  and 
education.  To  Yale  College  alone  it  is  estimated  that  the  gifts  of 
Mr.  Battell  and  other  members  of  his  family  amount  to  not  less 
than  $500,000 ;  and  they,  in  effect,  by  early  donations  and  later

additions,  founded  the  department  of  music  at  that  institution. 
Mr.  Battell  was  a  keen  lover  of  music,  painting  and  architecture. 
He  for  several  years  provided  his  native  village  with  a  series  of 
out-door  summer  concerts;  he  gathered  a  large  collection  of 
paintings,  representing  the  best  works  of  American  artists ;  he 
gave  Yale  a  chime  of  bells,  and  made  similar  gifts  to  several  other 
colleges,  and  was  a  liberal  subscriber  and  co-worker  in  move- 
ments for  the  artistic  development  of  the  people.  Of  sacred 
music  he  was  especially  fond,  and  several  of  his  compositions  for 
hymns  have  been  widely  rendered  and  praised. — N.  Y.  Evening-

were  so  fortunate  as  to  be  present  last  evening  at  the  celebration  of

enced an  unexpected  delight  during  the  delivery  by  Mrs.  McLane, 
the  author,  of  the  poem,  'The  Pilgrims.'  The  beautifully  expressed 
thoughts  and  the  music  of  the  rythmical  arrangement  were  given  an 
additional  charm  by  the  expressive  and  richly  modulated  tones  and 
the  graceful  manner  in  which  they  were  read."

CHAPTER   XVIIl. 


THE   DICKMAN    FAMILY   OF   BOSTON. 

"  The  body  is  not  one  member  but  many." 

— I  Corinthians,  xii,  14. 

An  account  has  been  given,  in  the  first  chapter,  of  the  little 
which  is  known  concerning  the  youngest  son  of  Thomas  Dicker- 
man  of  Dorchester.  What  course  he  pursued  after  his  brother 
moved  to  New  Haven  and  his  mother  went  to  live  at  Medfield,  we 
are  left  to  imagine.  We  do  not  know  the  occupation  he  followed, 
nor  the  part  he  bore  in  important  events  which  were  so  vital  to 
the  interests  of  the  colony  that  every  one  must  have  taken  some 
part.  We  are  not  told  whom  he  married  nor  what  family  he  had, 
with  the  single  exception  of  one  son,  who  may  have  been  and 
may  not  have  been  his  only  child. 

We  may  well  raise  the  questions.  Did  his  brother  at  New  Haven 
ever  revisit  his  old  friends  in  the  neighborhood  of  Boston  ?  Did 
they  sometimes  go  to  New  Haven  and  keep  up  acquaintance 
between  the  families  ?  And,  as  vessels  sailed  back  and  forth, 
were  messages  and  letters  carried  hither  and  thither  to  perpetuate 
old  ties  ?     No  answer  is  offered  to  any  such  inquiries. 

In  1720,  however,  the  name  was  entered  on  the  Boston  records, 
and  from  that  time  some  materials  are  given  for  a  history.  At 
this  period  there  were  two  with  the  name  of  Isaac. 

The  first  mention  is  in  the  "  Selectmen's  report,  July  27,  1720, 
and  again,  Jan.  27,  1721,  *  A  list  of  strangers,'  one  of  whom  is 
'  Isaac  Dickman.'  " 

Next,  Christ  Church  records  say,  "  Isaac  Dickman  was  buried 
April  22,  1726." 

A  few  months  later,  Sep.  10,  1726,  Isaac  Dickerman  (spelled  also 
Dickman),  "  Blockmaker,"  with  wife  Hannah,  mortgages  land  in 
the  westerly  part  of  the  town  of  Boston  to  John  Staniford,  a 
"  Taylor,"  and  redeems  it  June  24,  1734. 

Then   comes  another  entry  in  Christ  Church  records,  Sep.  14, 
1748.     "  The  wife  of  Isaac  Dickman  was   buried  ; "    and   a   few 
years  later,  March  10,  1755,  "  Isaac  Dickman  was  buried."

562  ISAAC'   DICKMAN'S   FAMILY. 

These  few  guiding  points  help  us  to  form  a  theory.  Supposing 
that  Isaac,  the  youngest  son  of  Thomas  Dickerman,  inherited  the 
property  of  his  father  in  Boston  ;  he  lives  there  and  has  a  son 
whom  he  names  Isaac.  This  son,  for  some  reason,  is  not  a  resi- 
dent of  Boston  in  1720.  He  may  have  been  a  sailor  or  perhaps 
have  lived  in  some  other  town  of  the  colony,  and  so  is  called  a 
"  stranger." 

The  father  dies  at  the  age  of  83,  for  this  would  have  been  his 
age  according  to  the  date  of  birth  in  Dorchester.  Thereupon  the 
son  comes  into  possession  of  the  estate  and,  finding  it  necessary 
to  raise  money,  mortgages  some  of  the  land.  He  becomes  pros- 
perous in  business  and  in  a  few  years  is  able  to  cancel  the  mort- 
gage.    In  1748  his  wife  dies,  and  in  1755,  he  follows  her. 

We  cannot  establish  the  whole  of  this  with  certainty,  but  only 
claim  for  it  a  fair  degree  of  probability. 

From  this  point  on,  the  family  can  be  more  easily  traced. 
Isaac  Dickman's  will,*  dated  Feb.  1755,  is  in  the  Boston  probate 
records  and  speaks  of  his  children  ;  while  their  names  are  also  in 
the  church  records.

Hon.  Franklin  J.  Dickman  was  fitted  for  college  at  the  Petersburg  Classical 
Institute  under  Rev.  Dr.  E.  D.  Sanders,  late  of  Philadelphia,  and  in  the  same 
class  with  Gen.  Roger  A.  Pryor.  At  the  age  of  sixteen  he  entered  the  Junior 
class  of  Brown  University  and  was  graduated  with  the  Salutatory  honors  in 
1846.  Rev.  Dr.  Francis  Wayland  was  then  President  of  the  college,  and  among 
his  classmates  were  Hon.  Samuel  S.  Cox,  Chief  Justice  Thomas  Durfee  of 
Rhode  Island  and  Hon.  Francis  Wayland.  After  a  year  of  post-graduate  study 
at  the  University  he  entered  the  law  office  of  Messrs.  Tillinghast  and  Bradley 
and  at  the  end  of  two  years  was  admitted  to  the  Rhode  Island  bar.  He  then 
practiced  his  profession  in  Providence  till  he  removed  to  Cleveland,  Ohio,  in 
Nov.  1858. 

In  1861  he  was  a  member  of  the  Ohio  House  of  Representatives.  At  the  close 
of  the  term  he  formed  a  law  partnership  with  Hon.  R.  P.  Spalding,  which  con- 
tinued till  May  1875.  In  March  1867,  President  Johnson  appointed  him  U.  S. 
Attorney  for  the  Northern  District  of  Ohio,  an  office  he  resigned  in  1869.  In 
April  1883,  Gov.  Foster  appointed  him  a  member  of  the  Ohio  Supreme  Court 
Commission  and  he  served  two  years.  In  Nov.  1886,  he  was  appointed  by  Gov. 
Foraker  a  Judge  of  the  Supreme  Court  of  Ohio.  In  1887  he  was  nominated  by 
the  Republican  State  Convention  for  Judge  of  the  Supreme  Court,  to  fill  an 
unexpired  term,  and  was  elected.  In  1889  he  was  nominated  for  the  full  term 
of  five  years,  and  has  been  Chief  Justice  of  the  Court  since  Feb.  1894. 

In  1892  the  honorary  degree  of  LL.D.  was  conferred  on  him  by  Brown  Uni- 
versity. He  has  continued  his  literary  pursuits  with  his  legal  practice,  having 
delivered  addresses  now  and  then  on  occasions  and  contributed  articles  to 
various  magazines. — Ohio  Cyclopcedia  of  Biography.

"  The  first  newspaper  printed  in  this  part  of  the  State  was  estab- 
lished here,  in  Feb.  1793,  by  Thomas  Dickman  of  Boston,  who  had 
served  his  time  with  Benjamin  Edes  and  Son.  It  was  called  the 
Impartial  Intelligencer,  which  was  soon  after  changed  to  Greenfield 
Gazette.  He  had  at  first  800  subscribers,  but  the  number  'soon 
increased  to  1600.  Newspapers  were  procured  for  him  at  first  by 
a  company  who  sent  to  Springfield  every  week.  A  post-ofiice 
was  established  a  little  later  and  he  was  appointed  postmaster, 
which  office  he  held  till  1804. 

Benjamin  Smead  learned  the  art  of  printing  of  Mr.  Dickman, 
and  established  in  Brattleboro,  about  the  year  1799,  a  paper  called 
the  Federal  Galaxy. 

On  Thomas  Dickman's  tombstone  is  the  inscription  : 

*  He  was  the  first  printer,  the  first  bookseller  and  the  first  post-

Deakins,  dau.  of  Peter  Deaklns,  b.  Nov.  30,  1788,  d.  Aug,  17,  1871. 
In  recording  her  death  in  the  family  Bible,  her  husband  added 
these  words. 

"  Drawn  upward  by  the  eternal  love  of  God. 
He  took  her  to  himself." 

Joseph  S.  G.^  Dickman  was  brought  up  on  a  farm  in  Marble- 
head,  by  his  mother,  his  father  having  died  when  he  was  a  year 
old.  He  inherited  landed  property  at  the  corner  of  Hanover  and 
Charter  streets  in  Boston,  with  an  old-fashioned  double  wooden 
house,  also  property  in  Newburyport.  He  was  in  the  war  of  1812, 
and  received  a  bounty  for  his  service.  He  removed  in  Jan.  1823, 
from  Marblehead  to  Cambridgeport. 

They  lived  on  North  ave.  Cambridge,  Mass.,  and  their  burial 
was  in  the  Cambridge  cemetery.  The  portrait  of  Mr.  Dickman 
is  such  as  one  delights  to  look  upon  for  the  character  it  indicates.

Note  Concerning  David'  Dickerman. 

David*  Dickerman  of  Oxford,  March  23,  1803,  deeded  thirteen 
acres  of  land  in  Middlebury,  one  mile  east  of  the  meeting-house, 
to  Stephen  S.  Hawley  of  Oxford,  for  ;!^i4o  lawful  money. — 
Waterbury  records. 

The  evidence  that  he  was  the  son  of  Joseph  is  in  a  deed,  May  16, 
1 8 15. — New  Haven  records. 

"David  Dickerman  of  Oxford,  and  Chauncey  and  Obedience 
Dorman  of  Canaan,  quit  claim  to  Isaac  Tuttle,  to  a  piece  of  land 
on  Broadway  near  the  blacksmith  shop."  Another  deed  of  Diodate 
Pratt  Jones  and  Sarah  Jones,  Dec.  20,  1814,  quits  claim  "to  the 
right  of  said  Sarah,  to  one  undivided  seventh  part"  of  13  rods  of 
land  on  Broadway,  to  Isaac  Tuttle.  And  still  another  of  Joseph 
and  Martha  Love  of  Hartford,  deed  to  Isaac  Tuttle  "a  small  piece 
of  land  near  the  dwelling  house  of  our  honored  father  Hezekiah 
Tuttle,  being  the  south  part  of  a  small  lot  formerly  owned  by 
Joseph  Dickerman  deceased."  David  Dickerman's  will,  proved 
Dec.  3,  1829,  calls  him  "late  of  Stamford,"  and  mentions  widow 
Mabel,  wife  of  Havens  C.  Thompson,  and  child  Burr.  Mr.  Milo 
Dickerman  of  Chicago  says  there  were  two  daughters,  but  evi- 
dently they  had  died  before  this  time,  and  he  has  no  record  of 
them. 

It  is  to  be  observed  that  this  property  was  close  by  that  of 
Stephen*  Dickerman,  page  467.        ,

By  the  kindness  of  Dr.  William"  Bradley  of  Evanston,  Ills.,  a 
paper  prepared  by  his  father,  Dr.  Samuel  B.**  Bradley  of  Greece, 
N.  Y.,  has  been  placed  in  our  hands,  and  will  be  found  of  interest 
to  many.  The  personal  reminiscences  of  nearly  a  century  ago 
are  of  especial  value. 

"  According  to  the  family  tradition  we  are  descended  from  William  Bradley, 
an  officer  of  Cromwell's  army,  who  came  to  Connecticut  about  1650,  and  was  the 
first  settler  of  the  town  of  North  Haven.  His  son  was  Abraham  Bradley,  a 
deacon  in  the  church  of  New  Haven.  His  son  was  Daniel  Bradley,  the  first. 
The  next  in  succession  was  Daniel  Bradley,  the  second,  commonly  called 
"  Deacon  Daniel,"  my  great-grandfather.  He  had  five  sons.  Daniel,  the  eldest, 
was  deacon  in  the  church  in  Hamden  (Mt.  Carmel  parish),  and  lived  to  be  93 
years  old.  William,  the  second  son,  died  in  Lanesboro  (Mass.),  Dec.  18,  1809, 
aged  79.  Jabez,  the  third  son,  died  in  Hamden.  Jesse,  the  fourth  son,  died  in 
Lee,  Mass.,  very  aged.     Joel,  the  youngest,  was  my  grandfather. 

Daniel  Bradley,  the  first,  had  four  sons,  from  whom  are  descended  four  branches 
of  the  Bradleys.  Moses  settled  in  Cheshire,  Conn.  ;  some  of  his  family  moved 
to  Vermont  ;  Stephen  R.  Bradley,  formerly  U.  S.  senator,  was  of  that  family. 
Amos  lived  and  died  in  Hamden,  and  his  posterity  are  still  there.     Daniel  is 


DR.   BRADLEY'S  REMINISCENCES.  583 

the  father  of  our  branch,  Stephen  settled  in  Stockbridge,  Mass.  His  son  was 
Elisha,  and  his  sons  were  Lent,  Isaiah,  Asahel,  Medad,  Bishop  and  Stephen. 
Lent  BradUy  was  the  father  of  Cornelia  Bradley,  my  first  wife. 

My  father  (Rev.  Joel  Bradley)  fitted  for  college  with  Rev.  Dr.  Goodrich,  of 
Durham,  and  graduated  at  Yale  in  1789.  He  studied  theology  with  Dr.  Jona- 
than Edwards  of  New  Haven.  He  received  a  call  from  the  Congregational 
church  of  West  Moreland,  N.  Y.,  May  14,  1793,  and  was  ordained  July  i6th,  of 
the  same  year. 

I  was  born  there  Aug.  14,  1796,  on  Sunday,  and  was  named  after  my  grand- 
father. At  my  mother's  death  I  was  not  quite  one  year  and  a  half  old,  and  my 
sister  but  twelve  days  old.  When  I  was  between  three  and  four,  we  went  to 
Connecticut,  to  live  with  our  grandparents,  I  in  Hamden,  with  grandfather 
Bradley,  and  Mary  Ann  in  Cheshire,  with  grandfather  Beach.  Here  we 
remained  about  three  and  a  half  years,  till  our  father  married  again,  and  settled 
in  Ballston,  N.  Y.     He  took  us  home  July  9,  1803. 

Of  my  residence  in  Hamden,*  my  recollections  are  vivid  ;  I  was  not  seven 
years  old.  Near  by  lived  Amos  and  Asa  Bradley,  cousins  of  my  grandfather, 
with  numerous  families.  In  another  direction  was  my  great  uncle,  Deacon 
Daniel  Bradley,  and  his  son.  Deacon  Aaron  Bradley,  with  his  children  David  and 
Patty.  To  the  south  were  my  aunts  Dickerman  and  Kimberly,  and  my  uncles 
Amasa  and  Elam,  with  their  numerous  families,  my  cousins ;  and  over  the  river 
under  the  mountain,  lived  Uncle  Jesse  Tuttle,  half-brother  of  my  grand-mother 
Bradley,  and  his  pretty  daughter,  Lucy,  who  was  drowned  in  the  river  March  26, 
1807,  aged  12  years. 

I  learned  my  letters  of  parson  Ives,  out  of  his  prayer-book.  He  lived  in 
Cheshire  and  served  the  church  in  Hamden,  and  used  frequently  to  call  at  my 
grandfather's,  who  was  an  Episcopalian.  My  grandmother  was  a  Congrega- 
tionalist.  Her  minister  was  Rev.  Asa  Lyman,  whom  I  well  recollect.  Col. 
Samuel  Bellamy  kept  tavern  and  store  at  the  Center,  and  lived  in  great  style. 
Here  I  first  went  to  school.  Kitty  Monson  was  my  first  teacher  ;  afterwards 
Mr.  Blakesly,  whom  I  saw  on  a  visit  more  than  forty  years  after.  My  school  com- 
panions were  Mary,  Joseph  and  Amos  Hough,  Sukey  Deering,  David  and  Patty 
Bradley,  Asa  Bradley  and  his  sisters,  Lucy  Tuttle,  Enos  Brooks,  my  cousins 
Horace  and  Sterling  Bradley,  L.  Monson. 

During  my  attendance  at  school  the  turnpike  was  completed.  Previously  to 
that  I  had  never  seen  a  four-wheeled  carriage.  The  people  went  to  market  with 
ox  carts  and  to  meeting  with  one  horse  chaises,  or  on  horseback  with  one  on  the 
pillion. 

My  grandfather  was  a  driving  business  man.  He  died  in  1801,  and  I  then 
lived  with  my  grandmother.  She  was  a  venerable  and  pious  old  lady  and  I  was 
much  attached  to  her.  She  died  in  1828,  aged  88,  outliving  three  of  her  sons, 
Amasa,  Seymour  and  my  father,  and  two  of  her  daughters,  Phebe  and  Mary. 

*  The  Joel  Bradley  place  was  at  the  north  end  of  the  town,  on  a  road  going  west  from  the  turn- 
pike, the  property  owned  by  the  late  Mr.  James  Leek.  A  modern  house  now  occupies  the  ground  : 
but  a  few  years  ago  the  ancient  homestead  was  standing  in  good  preservation— a  fine  old  "  lean-to 
back  "  house,  some  fifty  feet  or  more  from  the  street,  with  grand  elms  shading  the  front  yard,  and 
looking  squarely  toward  the  southern  sun.  It  was,  perhaps,  the  best  specimen  of  an  old-time 
farm-house  in  the  whole  town. 


584  APPENDIX. 

To  three  of  my  cousins  I  was  much  attached,  Chloe  Dickerman  two  years  older 
than  I,  and  her  sister  Sally,  nine  days  younger,  and  Polly  Kimberly,  about  mj^ 
age.  Chloe  never  married,  Sally  married  Horace  Goodyear  and  had  one  child. 
Of  Polly's  history  I  know  nothing. 

My  father  was  attacked  with  the  pleurisy,  and,  when  he  recovered,  his  lungs 
were  so  much  affected,  that  he  could  preach  but  a  few  times,  and  finally,  in  the 
fall  of  1811,  gave  up  preaching  and  entered  into  other  business.  I  was  now 
fifteen  and  entered  the  Sophomore  class  of  Union  College,  Sep.  17,  1811.  Thus 
I  left  Ballston,  with  all  its  agreeable  associations  of  places  and  persons." 

Dr.  Samuel  B.'  Bradley  studied  medicine  and  was  a  practicing 
physician  at  Greece,  N.  Y,  He  was  a  man  of  scientific  and  literary 
tastes  and  widely  known  for  his  attainments.

Disconnected  Families. 


In  July  1896,  a  letter  was  received  from  Emerson  L.  Dickerman 
of  Oswego,  N.  Y.,  giving  some  account  of  his  father's  family  and 
making  inquiries  concerning  relationship  to  others  of  the  name. 
A  call  was  subsequently  made  at  their  home  in  Oswego,  when  the 
remark  was  made  that  they  had  never  seen  a  Dickerman  before  of 
any  other  family  than  their  own. 

The  family  is  as  follows  :

283.  Lemuel  Dickerman,  b.  Feb.  14  (?),  1787,  at  Brattleboro  (?), 
Vermont,  removed  about  1820  to  Charlton,  Saratoga  Co.,  N.  Y., 
where  he  m.  Rebecca  Danford  ;  removed  in  1835  to  Oswego,  and 
died  in  1867.  Early  in  life  he  was  a  manufacturer  of  small  spin- 
ning wheels,  later  a  farmer.  He  was  of  sturdy  strength,  careless 
of  exposure  and  never  had  the  toothache.  A  strict  Presbyterian, 
he  would  not  allow  his  son  to  play  the  violin  on  Sunday.  For 
himself,  he  did  not  care  for  music.

4.  Emerson  Loren,  b.  Aug.  31,  1875,  at  Oswego. 

Lemuel  Dickerman  was  born  in  Vermont,  probably  at  Brattle- 
boro or  near  there,  though  we  find  no  place  for  him  in  the  family 
of  Dr.  Lemuel*  Dickerman,  nor  in  that  of  John*  Dickerman.  He 
had  a  number  of  brothers  but  no  sisters,  and  his  grandmother 
lived  to  be  nearly  a  hundred  years  old.  His  father,  whose  name 
is  not  known,  is  said  to  have  been  at  the  battles  of  Bunker  Hill 
and  Lexington  and  to  have  served  through  the  eight  years  of  the 
Revolutionary  war. 

An  arrangement  was  made  for  the  brothers  to  go  west  from 
Vermont  together.  The  others  wrote  to  Lemuel,  appointing  a 
time  and  place  of  meeting,  but  the  letter  was  delayed,  so  that  on 
his  arrival  they  were  gone  and  he  never  heard  anything  more  of 
them. 

He  was  in  Vermont  at  the  close  of  the  war  of  181 2,  and  was  one 
of  a  regiment  formed  there.  He  had  relatives  in  Connecticut,  but 
how  near  is  not  known. 

The  name  Lemuel  seems  to  point  to  a  connection  with  the 
Stoughton  branch,  and  the  query  arises  whether  he  may  not  have 
been  descended  from  Jaazaniah"  Dickerman,  whom  we  know  to

have  been  in  the  Revolutionary  war  from  Connecticut,  page  6j. 
Comfort'  and  Elijah"  Dickerman  were  also  in  the  war,  and  we 
have  no  record  of  them  beyond  this,  page  gi. 

The  town  records  at  Wardsboro,  Vt.,  tell  of  a  land  transfer  by 
Peter  Dickerman  about  1810.  Was  he  the  Peter'  Dickerman 
recorded  on  page  26?     This  seems  improbable. 

Apparently  there  is  a  field  in  Vermont  for  further  investiga- 
tions. 


A   New  York   Family. 
Notes  furnished  by  Rev.  Wm.  Frederick  Dickerman. 

It  is  claimed  that  this  family  is  of  Holland  extraction.  Tradi- 
tion says  that  the  original  name  was  not  Dickerman  but  Duhl- 
hagen,  from  which  it  was  changed  by  a  Dutch  forefather  to  con- 
ceal his  identity  when  a  prisoner  of  war. 

The  older  members  of  the  family  speak  of  an  ancestor  who 
owned  a  valuable  bridge  in  Holland,  and  coming  to  New  York, 
died  on  the  return  voyage.  It  is  said  that  two  lots  now  occupied 
by  business  buildings  adjacent  to  Trinity  cemetery  were  owned 
by  a  Dickerman  and  transferred  without  the  wife's  signature.  A 
blacksmith  shop  stood  there  a  long  time  during  the  Revolutionary 
war  because  a  clear  title  could  not  be  obtained. 

An  early  Dickerman  gave  the  town  of  Litchfield,  Conn.,  a  piece 
of  land  for  milling  purposes,  with  the  condition  that  it  should  be 
forfeited  to  the  heirs  when  no  longer  so  used. 

284.  Frederick'  Dickerman,  born  in  New  York  City,  where 
his  children  were  also  born. 

I.     William*,  b.  1795,  went  to  Kentucky,  became  a  planter  there  and 
reared  a  large  family  ;  a  son  became  a  Presbyterian  minister.

Recent  Immigrants. 

In  Albany,  N.  Y.,  are  found  two  brothers,  Anthony  and  Valen- 
tine Dickerman,  whose  father  came  to  America  from  Fulda,  Ger- 
many, between  1840  and  1850. 

In  Boston,  Mass.,  there  is  an  Abraham  Dickerman,  a  tailor,  who 
came  to  this  country  with  his  family  about  1890. 


Imperfect  information  has  been  received  of  another  Dickman 
family,  as  follows  :  "James  Dickman,  a  printer  by  trade,  was  born 
in  Augusta,  Maine,  and  at  one  time  published  a  paper  called  the 
Columbian  Star,  at  Alfred,  Maine.  His  father  was  Thomas,  who 
died  when  he  was  four  years  old.  He  had  a  brother  who  settled 
in  the  western  part  of  Massachusetts.  He  had  also  two  other 
sons,  Gustavus,  who  died  in  New  York  some  twenty-five  years 
ago,  and  Constantine,  who  resided  in  Maiden,  Mass.,"  quite 
recently.  This  account  was  sent  in  April,  1892,  by  the  daughter 
of  James,  Miss  Emma  E.  Dickman,  of  Cambridgeport,  Mass. 

Further  intelligence  was  given.  May  2, 1892,  by  Miss  Harriet  M. 
Dickman,  the  daughter  of  Constantine.  She  wrote:  "Father  has 
no  knowledge  of  his  family,  other  than  that  his  father  was  born, 
probably  in  1757,  in  Scotland.  He  died  when  my  father  was 
about  two  years  of  age,  and  we  have  never  met  any  others  of  the 
name,  except  the  immediate  family."
